    Yeah, but it’s the same darn 3.2 miles: 1.6 out, 1.6 back. Day after day. (well, okay, maybe it’s one of about 8). And then it rains. If you’re ON the trail and it rains, guess what you HAVE to do? If you’re at home though…

    Back in the day, my employer bought all of us Fitbits and those who wanted to participated in a virtual competition of climbing Mt Everest. And back, for the super achievers.

    Watch out for the cars. None of them on the Muir Trail.

    Hope he has chosen comfortable clothes. But, more importantly, good quality, comfortable shoes. The later will give him good reasons to continue the trek to the end, even though 3.2 miles is only about an hour’s travel. Maybe, as he gets in the groove, he’ll stretch the walks.

    Either way, I’m pulling for him and for anyone his age and condition who takes the first steps.

    I was part of a group on Facebook for a while that every month they put out a hike and the mileage and the average miles/day for the month to “hike the trail”.

    I use the Conqueror’s Challenge to motivate my walks. I walked Route 66 last year

    I hear people lamenting that following the same path day after day can get boring, but I myself traverse the trail from desk to refrigerator multiple times each day and have yet to be bored by it even once.

    There is a guy in Lincoln City, Oregon that is walking around the world that way.

    If you do the hike virtually, you can stop off at the non-virtual donut shop.

    There are a ton of apps for that sort of thing. Pick your walking challenge and go!

    Must be a very hilly and high altitude town if that counts as a virtual John Muir Trail. But just 3.2 miles walking is sufficient to reach anywhere? That is a very small town as well. Especially in the foolish space wasting way of US township design.

    Don’t forget the ascent of Mt Whitney on the last day.

    I used to do this, except my mileage came from an outdoor rowing machine before going to work at o’ dark thirty. My rowing machine faced the swimming pool, so I could see water and a few stars and sometime hear a few nightbirds while I rowed. My mileage was tallied and route mapped at the end of each week.

    I may never get to Maine in real life, but I got there via rowing machine.
