SIMPLY MY BEST

UPDATE: This was the website where we figured out what SMB would be. Then we created a new site for SMB 2014. Then, in March, 2014, we launched a REAL website for the event and our nonprofit called Pilot Butte Summit Seekers. Check it out...

WWW.PILOTBUTTESUMMITSEEKERS.ORG

Kind of cool to watch it change from something we literally made up as we went along to something that was built on the efforts of so many and actually planned to some degree. It will be fun to watch the new website take shape over the coming months.

Btw, if you haven't heard, SMB 2014 is May 10th!

Note: Many functions on this old site have been removed or disabled, but the blog remains as a record of the SMB journey.

Some distance hiking tips (not quite as promised)

I said a long time ago that I would be posting distance hiking tips on this blog.  I started writing them way back when and things kept coming up that were more important.  As a result, I only have a half dozen or so and even those haven't experienced much editing.  They are pretty much rough drafts at this point.  But I think there is some useful information in there and so I have included a link to what I have.  You really only can do one or two of these at a time and so you don't really need the whole list now because there is so little time.  The "Camel Walk" is probably the most important of the bunch.  So if you do that, and one of the others, you will get quite a bit of benefit.  We'll get the whole list completed well in advance of next year's SMB.  You can get an idea of what is coming by looking at the subjects that have no content.  When I'm done, there will probably be a small book worth of information.

This is a subject that Carol and I have been studying for years.  It turns out that almost everyone can use techniques like this to greatly increase the distance they are able to hike.
