I’m getting everything prepared to send copies of my book ‘Friday on the Trail’ to the Los Angeles Book Festival. There is estimated to be around 140,000 people visiting the venue (140,000 potential customers). I’m sending along about 40 bookmarks with my contact information on them for promo handouts. If nothing else my book will spur people to get off of the couch and get out in the bush on the trail. Hell even off of the trail. We’re planning to do a lot of our trek this spring the hard way. We’re cutting across, through the bush to 2 different locations. We’ll set up our base camp at one end, then trudge, (lightweight) along the trail for a good part of the day until we get to our secondary site, where we’ll camp for the night under a lean-to. Pray for no rain during the night or we’ll have to get really creative. On the second day we’ll plow through the bush. The thickets shouldn’t be too hard to get through as it will be early spring, but those viscous thorns can rip you apart if you aren’t really careful.
There’s just something about getting off of the trail that entices me. We should do it more often. You have to be a lot more aware of your surroundings, and your bearings. You could be hopelessly lost if you lose your concentration and become complacent. The GPS and Compass and Topos will be our best friend.
