Monday morning I did an 8 mile hike on some government easement that surrounds the Mark Twain Lake near my home. We had a tornado go through this area last summer and it knocked down hundreds of tress and some were in the trail. That made it harder than it ever has been, for me. It showed me, at 60 years old that I need some work between now and this fall's elk hunt. I used to ride a bike 60-80 miles a week and think I'll start that up again. Needless to say at the end of that hike I was glad to see my truck.
