How would you finish that one-liner? You know, like "Old wrestlers never die, they just lose their grip," or "Old frogs never die, they just croak."
I was at a vendor even in Cadillac all day today. I did fairly well, and met a whole lot of new-to-me authors.
These two ladies were in the area from Virginia. The lady on the left, Karen, still leads short hikes on the Appalachian Trail and sometimes helps with trail work. She is my age.
The lady on the right, Ann (you can see her walker beside her) says she isn't hiking much any more, but... are you ready... she's 93!
It was 11 hours non-stop. I'm beat. All good.
Oh, the actual end of that joke? "Old hikers never die, they just trail away."
Speaking of other old hikers, Nimblewill Nomad who currently holds the record for the oldest thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail at 84, is going to support at friend who is 91 and is hoping to take the record away from him.
Pretty much, we just don't know how to stop.
