Picture of the day
This blog chronicles the hikes I've completed in the "Lee 333 Challenge". I haven't set a challenge deadline because I can't dedicate myself 100% to it. However, if the SNAP500 (or SHEN500) can be done in one year, I don't see any reason why a dedicated enthusiast couldn't complete the "Lee 333" in under a year also.

After overexerting myself hiking this week I had some muscle pain in my pecs. My wife didn't want me hiking alone just in case it was my heart. I had a minor heart attack a few years ago and had a stent installed. We compromised and I agreed to hike in the state park after getting the phone number of the visitor center.
The day was simply beautiful and the trails really nice. I was feeling low energy but set myself and ambitious goal anyway. I'm building back up after a long break from hiking. The eight miles were a challenge but the trails were easy going and I made it.
