Goals for next year: finally clip into pedals of my bike, finally backpack somewhere, volunteer at the Revolutionary Ramble, do a service trip, hopefully with Great Old Broads of the Wilderness. Try not to fall behind in writing, keep a diary. Don’t lose heart since the election results, get involved. Help other people who need it! Make 2017 a better year.
Thoughts: Georgia, Cumberland Island National Seashore, Kentucky: Horsey Hundred, Natchez Trace National Historic Parkway, MS, AL, TN TX: West Texas? Austin area?
