This is a good day to tie flys and prep gear!

The rain, snow, and the mud is enough today for me to stay in!

Water hike on Paine Creek in Leroy Twp. Ohio

 

Headed out to do a water hike today!

A short hike in the Beaver Creek State Park in Ohio

Well life after contact dermatitis seems I will be ok. I have done some walking on rivers and creeks since this has healed up but not a true hike yet.

I must admit I was apprehensive. I was thinking how would my body react, would my breathing be ok, would I cramp up on the trail, how would my feet feel, and how far should I hike and where.

I had laid out a hike of 7-ish miles in the Beaver Creek State Park in Ohio. I knew it was hunting season and that would mean even less people on the trails, especially where I was going. It was simple in an out route as you can see on the attached map.

On another note, I was able to keep my pace just above 2 mph and that to me is a huge!

Fast-forward, it’s now Sunday and I have zero issues since yesterday’s baby hike. I will consider this a win

Headed out for a short hike today

 I am headed down to southeast Ohio for a 7 mile hike.  I wanted to hike Paine Creek today, but the rain put the brakes on that idea.
