Kitchens not in use
I know. I know. Pack light. But at the same time (Boy Scout motto): Be prepared. When asked, "Be prepared for what?" the founder of the Boy Scouts replied: "Anything." I carry a large stainless steel cup that can be used on a stove, a plastic bowl that can be used in a microwave, (and lids...- Deputy Dan

Wild Camping option and sufficient gear
quick note regarding "training": I trained with a full pack a few days per week for several weeks before my trip, but discovered that the ultimate chafing, and wear/tear on my body didn't show up until about the third consecutive day on my Camino journey. If you're not training on a daily basis...- Deputy Dan

Plantar Fasciitis
My PF seems to be aggravated by standing around a lot, rather than walking! Go figure. Doc told me to NEVER again walk anywhere barefoot - I must have some sort of shoe with adequate arch support. I can use inserts in Crocs so those are my official indoor (and Camino shower) shoe from now on...- Deputy Dan

Wanna get paid to hike the Appalachian Trail?
I've hiked two sections of the AT - 75% uphill (steep) and 75% down hill; only 10% "reasonably" flat. (Yes - I can do the maths!) It's like climbing stairs all day - Makes the CF seem absolutely flat. But, no beer was involved in my two walks. Beer can be a powerful motivator . . .- Deputy Dan

Home Alone - New Generation (i.e.Self Isolation) ideas

Learning Spanish
Here in Georgia senior citizens get a full tuition waiver for courses at most of the State colleges and universities. I enrolled at the University that I pass each day on the way to work(!) and took two semesters of Spanish at a total cost of about $5 for my parking permit, plus books (and only...- Deputy Dan

Avoiding the breakfast trap?
My initial week-long Camino was in the company of one or more napolitano addicts; I don't know if the albergues we stayed in even had breakfast since they already planned stops at the first (and second. and third.) cafe known to have choice croissants. I did shop at some local tiendas for...- Deputy Dan

Madrid!
I arrived in Madrid late Friday evening and left early Monday morning - not nearly enough time! Beautiful Fall weather the whole weekend!! I merely googled Madrid and (somewhere!) found a self-guided walking tour that hit many of the high spots - On Saturday I wandered around and through...- Deputy Dan
