I walked 8.8 km at an 11 km\/hr pace which is relatively decent for walking. Half of the walking was on a dirt path separating two fields planted with wheat and lentils. The second half was through rolling hills following an old, unused trail to reach a hilltop that had very old farm equipment parked. Joining the two ancient pieces was a newer piece of equipment seen in the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose to walk in the morning as it is going to be a hot afternoon, too hot for enjoying a hike. I took a litre of water with me and had no trouble finishing it by the time I arrived back at my truck which had been parked by four large grain bins. Usually, I walk with trekking poles, but not this morning. It\u2019s good to change things up once in a while. Today\u2019s walk makes it the fifth free-hike of the season. It\u2019s been a good year so far for free-hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that I am back home, it is time to return to writing and editing with perhaps another audio recording of the Pilgrim novel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free-hiking on a perfect morning was all that I could have hoped for with the only drawback being spear grass which dug into my socks and decided to bite me.
