Sorry for not posting a new article on my normal posting schedule, but As a present to mark my 30th birthday, my wife let me hike the Choro Trail. It’s a 57 km (45.5 mile) hike from up in the Andean Mountains, down to tropical Coroico in Bolivia. It has an overall vertical drop of about 3 1/4 km (2 miles) and is something that I’ve been hoping to do for a long time.
So, what to do in your spare time? Well, you could head over to Seattle Backpacker’s Magazine to watch a video and read a review of the SPOT Messenger that I’ll be using to check in from the trail with.
You can check in with my progress on the trail or if you really want, you can enter to win some new hiking boots over at hiking the trail, or if books are your thing, why not enter to win an illustrated guide to hammock camping?
