I know it's Sunday ! So, go take a Hike ……. Really ! For it is :
NATIONAL TAKE A HIKE DAY
National Take a Hike Day on November 17th encourages us to get out there and hit the trails. With over 60,000 miles of trails in the National Trail System across the 50 states, there is no lack of opportunity to take a hike.
Some of those trails are hundreds of years old. For example, the oldest continuously used trail in the United States is Crawford Path in New Hampshire. The beginnings of the mountain path were cleared to the summit of Mt. Washington in 1819. Other trails allow us to follow in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark or explore even more ancient history like Effigy Mounds National Monument.
Besides experiencing majestic views and the great outdoors, we also exercise our bodies. Hiking not only gets our hearts pumping and our muscles moving, but being outdoors is good for our minds. Many of us spend too much time indoors behind a desk. Hiking can burn between 400-550 calories per hour. What better way to get a head start on all those ‘other’ holiday temptations and observe Take a Hike Day?
Events around the country celebrate Take a Hike Day. Local, state, and National Parks support hiking events encouraging us to enjoy a hike. Be sure to wear good shoes, take a snack and bring a buddy, but get out there and enjoy the fresh air, scenery and get a little exercise to boot!

Memories also of a march in Korea - by the time we stopped for chow, the black girl walking nearest me was literally white from alllll the dust. No memory of how long it was - just knew it was toooooo long! And my first experience with C-rats - from WW11 I believe. little tin cans of suspicious-looking "stuff". BUT there were smokes!! Marlboros, even!

a tutorial documentary on the hash house harriers, a drinking club with a running problem. Created by Sean Baello and George Boe
Good Sunday, November 17, 2017 evening my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell and thank you for making us aware that November 17th is National Take a Hike Day. I have certainly been through my share of ruck marches :-)
My favorite hikes have bene participating in Volksmarches in Germany
second favorite is Hash House Harriers which I participated in Columbus, Georgia while stationed at Fort Benning
"Hash House Harriers is a “drinking club with a running problem.” Hashing is derived from the old British public school game of “Hounds and Hares”. The Hash House Harriers is/are a global network of “kennels”, where people meet to enjoy some of the basic pleasures life has to offer; the great outdoors, exercise (light or vigorous), fraternity, laughter, beer! We meet, travel to a nearby “Start” and then follow a marked trail across/through/over/under/around; streams / marshes / trails / hills / paths / farms / jungles / villages / etc. to a secret location, “the finish”, where miraculously – a cooler full of ice-cold beer (and soft drinks), suddenly appears."
