    Damico Walking reacted to MesaWalker's post in the thread Gortex or No -Gortex Shoes with Like Like.

    You are correct for most of the way. When we walked the CP Coastal in April/May 2022 there were parts of the boardwalk that had sand drifted to the top of the posts holding the rope railings, about 3+ feet in 2 or three areas for about 10 feet...

    I am sure you can get as many opinions as there are people. So all I can say is I choose not to wear gortex . My last camino, October 23, I wore Hoka Speedgoat 5 NON gortex. It rained for 7 days straight. I thought I might need fins and...

    Agree. I brought 2 pair of Ex Officio briefs on camino #1. Bought a three pack of their Give-N-Go boxer briefs for camino #2 on hiking in the mountains. I bought the three pack from Costco for just a hair more than one of the briefs from an...
