      I have a pair of Moabs a full size larger than my foot. On longer hikes I wear two pairs of socks, Coolmax under merino wool. On shorter hikes I just wear the wool. The back of the shoe does get worn down but I've not had any blisters or hot...

      The back of the heal is the part for me that causes trouble when I try a new shoe and later abandon it. I've never walked in Merrel's, but tried a pair of Nike trail runners that put a quarter sized hole on the back of my heal that took about a...

      My wife. Our plan was to walk the Camino when I retired. She convinced a room full of hospice and oncologists that she was going to go home, heal up and walk it with me this year. Unfortunately, life had different plans. I would gladly give my...

      Musings post-Camino: As I continue to process and digest my Camino experience this past summer, I’m struggling trying to understand why this has been such a huge deal for me, and puzzled why for others it doesn’t seem to be as big of a deal as...

      I’ve seen many pilgrims in these boards saying things to the effect that the Camino is just an experience, akin to a stroll in the park, or not much different than other hikes. For some of us it is more significant. Nothing wrong with that, since...
