    Anybody use speedgoats?

    I hiked my first Camino in Topos and loved them for their large toe box. I bought a pair of Speedgoat 5's in prep for my second Camino for the cushiony comfort of Hokas - I own several pairs for daily training and general wear. After putting some good mountain hiking miles on the Speedgaoats, I...

    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    Yes, we know the feeling and its why my lovely spouse and I are heading back for our third Camino, and a third different route. Take a child or grandchild with you next trip. Our only regret is that we did not discover this wonder earlier in life to take our children. Our daughter did join us...

    Personal Reflections on the Camino Journey

    I drafted this three days before finishing our hybrid Camino Del Norte, Camino Lebaniego and Camino Primitivo. Yes, for the record it was much more physically demanding than our Camino CF, but so worth the journey. I hope you enjoy my musings. If you are walking the Camino under 40 years of...

    Cats on the Camino

    I recently read a meme that said 'if cats could text you back, they wouldn't," and such is the allure of these independent locals who more likely gaze at you with indifference or at best with curiosity. The Camino blesses us with a unique walk through the private lives of at least the...

    Socks, no really

    Just completed second Camino in Smart Wool socks - CF in 2021 and Del Norte, Lebaniego, Primitivo this year. I had a few blisters on the CF so for this Camino I added the REI Coolmax sockliner to reduce friction between the smartwool sock and my skin. This worked very well. The sockliners are...

    Knights Templar and other nonsense!

    The Witches of Galicia. It was at the end of the day on our 2021 Camino Frances when you are so calorie deprived you begin to think of rocks and sticks as possible sources of nutrition. We settled into the lovely Pension Albergue Los Caminantes, dropped our packs, showered, dressed in tomorrow's...
