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!
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

May we all be so Richly Blessed as being able to Walk these distances

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.
