    Walking Poles - Bring them they are essential

    Now you have done it Doug, pacer poles, give up all hope who tread there. I hope I am joking. I have been practicing with pacer poles. You do use a very light grip, see if you can try a pair before you buy. I am in the flat lands of Texas so I can't speak to how they work in the hills or...

    Journaling on the Camino

    An update. I have been using a voice dictation program that requires the use of a network to support the heavy lifting of moving from voice to text. Not too helpful on the trail but great at home. Love Dropbox and its ability to also move pictures and documents without a great deal of time...

    Strange issues with my Merrells, anyone else encounter this?

    Had much of the same problem. The REI gal at Roundrock relaced them like this. Tighten them a little looser than soccer cleats :) and double tie the bow. Now slip your finger between the two twisted sections and pull. This will tighten the lower and higher section of the lacing but loosen the...

    Journaling on the Camino

    I will have to look at the app. Sounds like I could use it.

    Journaling on the Camino

    Thank you all for the your comments and expertise. I now have both apps on my phone & tablet. Returning from a trip I shared all the photos with my family (in three cities) using dropbox. Drag, drop & done. Yes that easy. Evernote seems to be working as well. So I have a simple solid way...

    Journaling on the Camino

    Dave, what is the difference between Evernote & Dropbox? And what are the advantages. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Journaling on the Camino

    I was wandering how much the transferring cost of Dropbox through a smartphone. If anyone will share your experience I would appreciate your input.

    Journaling on the Camino

    Vagabondette I found the voice recording app on ITunes app store, downloaded it, and on the first try it worked. A ninety nine cent solution and three minutes of my life well spent. It even handles the Texas twang. How do tell if a Texan is lying? If you can see his lips move he’s lying...

    Journaling on the Camino

    Voice dictation, what will they think of next? I am still going to take a journal just to be hard headed on the issue :twisted: . Vagabondette my hen scratch is near undecipherable at normal size; going smaller sadly is not an option. Yes I am planning an April / May 2013 pilgrimage...

    Journaling on the Camino

    Vagabondette you have hit on the other issue; a quick calculation shows that an average day of journal (thank you F) would be 22 pages in a 3 by 5 inch book or 8 pages in a 5 by 8. Forty days on the Camino would require the better part of four of the smaller and one and a third of the larger...

    Journaling on the Camino

    I thought about using my iPhone or even a iPad and dropbox to sent it all back with. But there is something about writing, that isn’t there when I am typing. I am less… connected. I guess that is the best word for the feeling. I haven’t taken to blogging yet, maybe I will include that in my...

    Journaling on the Camino

    Hola, Journaling is something I do to help bring some clarity to my thoughts and I see in other post that a good number of people keep a journal while on their journey. The problem is that I use a standard 9 by 12 inch (23cm by 31cm) sketch book that weighs over a pound (1 kg) and that will be...
