    Spiritual variant (get your two stamps per day!!)

    2 stamps per day for the final 100 k seems pretty clear to me. And that is the only point that needs be followed.

    COVID New start dates?

    I just do not know what to say. Hopefully I will be able to walk the Camino in September. But I do not see that really happening. So much has to occur in order for me to do that. I continue to pray and to listen to Ivar's Monday talks. We'll see what happens.

    Looking for a walking buddy

    Hello Eva, You are most welcomed to be part of this group and to share your needs and concerns. Covid 19 is spreading again in all of Europe. As a result Spain is inaccessible for most of us. This may change but I do not think change is something that will soon occur. However I am using this...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Three-minute video guide: what to do at albergues

    The suggested procedure appears reasonable yet daunting when I am tired and hungry at the end of a walk. My dad had a phrase that seems to apply here. "Make haste, slowly!"

    Osprey Atmos AG 65 hip pockets question

    Ge1ert, I have a similar Osprey pack. I played with it for hours, just as you are doing, and it fits me like a glove. Play with it, adjust the torso and the hip belt as well as the whistle cross strap. Learn that pack BEFORE you hike with it. You will be happy with it. Mine hugs me like a...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD A ray of hope

    According to the latest information that I have seen, at this time no tourists from America will be allowed entry into Spain. Spikes in Covid-19 preclude us from making a journey this year.

    Wanna get paid to hike the Appalachian Trail?

    I do understand that a negative test result can be used, however it really is immunity to covid-19 that is desired, immunity by either a survival from this disease or a vaccination that insures and guarantees immunity from it. A negative test in my opinion is just a time snapshot. Its...

    It Is Normal For Feet and Knees to Become Sore

    Dave, You are a marvelous encourager. Wish that we had the hills to practice here in SoFla. But there are stairs and while not as scenic can serve a purpose. Thank you for all the meaningful information you share with us. I hope Spain opens up soon and that any that wish can walk their dream on...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Europe promises to reopen for summer tourism in wake of coronavirus

    I hope that Spain opens up the Camino soon. It will be opened, maybe not on my time line, but eventually. So now I must accept the gift of patience. We all must. As followers of Saint James patience is The Way. This covid problem is so complex right now. I just pray that those in a pay grade...
