Trails, Tracks, Roads and Rivers

ByRich

February 1st. I started this trek one month ago today. 

So far, my modes of transportation have included: hiking on trails and along roads, hitchhiking, bicycle, Greyhound bus, Amtrak train, rental car, canoe in a Louisiana swamp, water taxi, fan boat in the Everglades, paddlewheel on the Mississippi, a sailboat out of Key West, and flights from Las Vegas to Houston and New Orleans to Orlando.

Accommodations have included: camping, hostel, couch surfing, sleeping in rental car, cheap hotels and Hiltons.

Enjoyed it all, but I have a definite preference for hiking on trails and camping. Waking up today in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Heading south today on Hwy 82 to Centreville, then into the Talladega National Forest. Looking forward to a couple nights under the stars.

    According to the guidebook: “If you explore only one town in the Eastfjords, Seydisfjordur should be it. Made up of multi-colored wooden houses and surrounded by snowcapped mountains and cascading waterfalls.” On this day the surroundings were obscured by dense fog and the town was swarming with tourists. A nice side-trip nonetheless.

    I went a few mornings without a mirror, walking around not knowing that my hair was a mess and sticking straight up. No wonder little kids and puppies were running away from me. LOL What I needed was a good “low maintenance” (meaning short) haircut. Google search showed a place called the Rooster Club not…
