Hiking: back into the wilderness today

No, blog, I have not forgotten about you. The move to Albuquerque and getting settled here has not given me as much time as I would like to focus on accomplishing the goals outlined here, but I assure you I am still focused on my mission of living as a man of merit. I'm hitting the trails in the Sandia Mountain wilderness today and am preparing for my final two 10-mile hikes. Then I have one 20-mile hike to do before I can check off the hiking merit badge from my to-do list. Then I will shift gears just in time for summer and focus on the swimming merit badge (I think). More on this to come.
