Hello from Maryland

[MDPhil]

A friend just pointed me to this site, and I think I fit right in.  I'm 72, which means I have now been a somewhat serious hiker for 60 years.  There were a few down years in my raising kids/earning a living phase of life, but I've been back on the trail pretty regularly now for 30 years or so.  I'm not much inclined toward backpacking any more.  I've found I can get my trail fix with day hikes, and have a nice dinner and a comfortable bed at the end of the day.  Still, I give you more ambitious geezers credit for being out there, and I'm happy to read your stories.
