Heeding the Call...Tucson and Beyond 💃

and the trail has it own stern code..."
~From "The cremation of Sam McGee"
by Robert Service
A poem I learned by heart when I was 10 or so
and often recite when I am hiking a long trail.
◉
I promised.
So, here it is
A VERY exciting development...
THIS YEAR I WILL HAVE 50 YEARS!
~ "Wait" you say, "that is not so exciting"...
But walking The Camino Santiago de Compostela
for your 50th birthday IS!
The camino has called me for over 20 years,
I am heeding the call.
I plan on starting out mid April.
There is much to prepare for this epic 50 day adventure,
so I have been heart-storming fun ways
in which you can play a part.
(soon to be revealed...
I got to save something for later ;)
