training (did I just say that) has begun

I began walking (intentionally training) recently. Approximately six hours is the longest yet. It's really amazing scenery here. I've been to diverse regions: Colorado, New Zealand, Antarctica -right here in Putnam County is quite beautiful also.


I sometimes walk roads that I'm not familiar with. Other than keeping track of the general direction that I need to be working back toward I have little to navigate by. My six hour walk was one of these. After walking to Algood and then back up along 111 to the edge of Putnam county, I began to trek through the mountain roads. I was concerned that some of these rural roads don't always connect with others, but the roads came out in general directions similar to where I was heading, and after going up a mountain and coming down what seemed a different peak that was connected by a road, I found myself in the area of a road that I knew went into Cookeville, the town I was heading to.

So, if You find yourself in Putnam County or specifically Cookeville keep an eye out for Me. The sides of some of the roads are narrow, so if You want to honk or shout be careful that You don't startle Me too bad. :)




I'm posting some pics that were taken while training.



A sufficient flow of materials, etc. is developing that a Facebook page is in discussion. If anyone is interested in being the Administrator let Us know. Thanks
