Hello Iowa Kids! I'm an Iowa farmer who walked the Camino from LePuy, France to Finnesterre, Spain last summer. Send me a PM and you can get my phone number and I can help you out with a lot of your questions.- Farmer John

Hey Pablo! Belay That! I'm starting not only 5 days after you but as far BEHIND you on the Way at Le Puy as Santiago is AHEAD of you! The only way I'll ever catch you is for you to be WIA and none of us want that. About the time you're on your hands and knees crawling up the cathedral steps to...- Farmer John

Class of 2013
Hey There Ol' Marine Pablo! Looking at the calendar, we're both "short-timers"! Got your gear all squared away? I'm having a hard time getting enough training hikes in with farming getting in the way! More aches and pains showing up than I would lake as well. So be it. D Day is 13 May, and...- Farmer John

OoohRah Marine! You probably had stripes and rockers by the time I made it through OCS since you're nine years my senior. I'm starting in LePuy 14 May so will probably never catch you but I'll be eyes-front for any signs of mayhem you left behind :lol: Semper Fi Farmer John- Farmer John

Class of 2013
Greetings to Jan and Ruth from Farmer John, Iowa, USA! Since you're starting from Le Puy about 2 weeks ahead of me, I don't know if I'll ever catch up to you! I'm keeping a folder of all those folks who are planning on being on the route and it would be great to find some of them wearing the...- Farmer John

Class of 2013
A warm welcome to fellow Iowans! I'm Farmer John from Wellman and will be starting from LePuy, France in mid May 2013. Sounds like your planned schedule will keep you ahead of me for the entire Camino. My wife plans to join me for the last 110 km and we want to be in Santiago for the feast day...- Farmer John

Hi Victoria! You're gonna like the Class of 2013, welcome aboard! I'll offer a few platitudes that you'll likely hear again, but hopefully they'll reinforce your decision. First off, Attitude IS everything, and yours is in the right gear. Second, the hardest part of any big decision, is...- Farmer John

Class of 2013
Bon Jour, fellow 2013 Classmates! Since my planned jump-off location is Le Puy, I'm spending my walking time with Conversational French in my MP3 headphones. Wasn't sure how many "new tricks" this old dog can learn, but the exercise in my head helps keep the exercise in my legs from being so...- Farmer John

Class of 2013
Bon Jour Karin! I'd be happy to trade some of my stamina and/or conditioning, which you consider yourself short on, for what I presume to be your command of French, living in the SW of France. My plans have me starting from LePuy mid-May 2013 for an all-in-one-go to Santiago. Since that route is...- Farmer John

Greetings to all the newest members of the Class of 2013! It's looking like a wonderfully diverse and interesting group. Temps in Iowa have been extreme since July has arrived.

El Camino 2013
Hi Cecelia, Thanks for the reply, really like the friendly "feel" of this Forum. Gives me a good idea of the kind of folks who are drawn to this endeavor. In my earlier post, I misspoke regarding my planned beginning time. I have found that I'm frequently saying to myself, "at this time next...- Farmer John

Hi Cecilia! Patron saint of musicians and Naval Gunners! And chosen Confirmation name of our youngest daughter. Your namesake must have been as adventurous and well-rounded as you appear to be.

Thanks, Falcon! Practically ANYTHING would be better than an iPod full of music for me. I see many of my fellow bikers "plugged in" constantly and it amazes me. There is always something interesting in the present. Six years ago I rode the Lewis and Clark trail from West to East and hundreds of...- Farmer John

Hi Liz! Maybe you haven't actually begun your Camino in Europe, but you have given some very sage advice to our Illinois pilgrim. If your heart and mind are committed, then you HAVE begun your journey, your Camino. Get out there and WALK. It's three miles between our home farm and our cattle...- Farmer John

Hi Jeffnd! It will be good for us to encourage one another as this year progress. Obviously, getting the correct footwear is an important first step. It will be easy for you to get overwhelmed with the myriad of choices out there, and the amazing amount of money that can be spent on them. On my...- Farmer John

"Class of 2013". Definitely has an infectious ring to it. High school class of '64 (We'll go far cause we've got more! We're the Class of Sixty-Four!) I know, it takes up valuable space in my brain, but I can't get rid of it. "Iowa State-Sixty-Eight! Catchy, too, but sounds a bit ancient now...- Farmer John
