There are still some details to iron out. This doesn't look to be a convenient trail for walkers: there are huge segments at the beginning and near the end, and I won't be doing any rest days. I'll be trusting that my feet can't be that torn up after only five days' walking.

I did end up designing a modest tee shirt. Click the tee image on my sidebar to go see it and maybe buy one. I've bought one of each design for myself: a front-and-back design and a front-only design (to wear while walking).
