The "Walk"!

[Charlie]

I guess dearly beloved is correct in saying I'm crazy as a chicken snake. A friend who just retired is planning a walk to Terlingua from his house in Dripping Springs! Just for the hell of it! I told him I'd go with him. I don't really think I can make it. We are in the planning stage now. He has a deer lease there. Dearly beloved thinks I'm off my phoking rocker! But that's not new! We are still in the planning stage.

It's only 460 miles. You can do it.

Go for it. Better start getting in shape though.

Sometimes, listening to the wife is not a bad idea.
Not always mind you. Just occasionally.

Well, I am closer than he is! I really don't think I can make it, (I have gout in my left foot). I'm only a couple of miles North of I-10, so I'll know real quick!

How do you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time.

So just walk a mile per day until you get there

And, of course, I'll have the burden of extra weight by having to carry a cooler of cold beer!

True, it would just take us more than a year or so!

You sure you want to do it in the summer?

One thing I learned in the Army, is the value of a good, soft orthotic insert. Dry feet. And wool socks.

And a Camelback. I have an extra new in the package if you need one.

He has the edge on me as he is only in his late 60's!

Probably won't make a damn bit of difference as to our success!

My wife thinks I'm completely nuking futz!

I’m thinking 2 weeks, max.

To put it in perspective, it would be similar to walking from Dallas to South Padre.

Dayum!

Hot Asphalt/concrete in summer is a haul.

You sure about that? You’ll sweat your ass off. If you don’t heat stroke first.

Then again, you may be a PT stud.

'Sounds like a hell of a deal (if I was 25 yrs. old).

We'll just walk in the grass!

No way my knees could handle it, not to mention the rest of me...

 

[Charlie]

If I get to I-10 (two miles from my house) I'll be lucky!

 

[skfullgun]

You know what... Go for it if you want. If you only make it fifty miles it will give you something to talk about.
People have certainly done crazier things.

You will have to be free from gout. I'm a fellow sufferer and if you have a flair up no way you can walk a distance.

I'll buy you a duvell for every county line you cross.
No rides, gotta be under your own power all the way.
