HI all, I'm the Tom Wheeler who introduced Will to the IAT and a few other trails over the years. To me, Will is still a youngster since I am turning 84 in a week and was struggling along on the Camino del Norte again less than a month ago. Years ago, my doctor told me to "hike to live", so since 1978 I live to hike. Here are a few more pictures of us.

And, at the age of 86, I just finished (3rd time) the Le Puy to SJPDP thinking I am the only fruit cake out here!! Loved the story!

Much appreciated. I have a visit to the American embassy this month to hopefully get a visa for a 6 month stay to walk the Appalachian trail , meanwhile I am also planning my 3rd Camino.
