The hikers paths have always been there, the tracks where we
roamed at lib and never thought anything of it. These last few days with the
change in the weather I decided to hit the old trails again in an attempt to
find my legs that I had tucked under my rump with the sole excuse that if I
stared walking again I would burst my knees, sure I do get these gouty
arthritic attacks once in a while but nothing that cannot be controlled by
changing ones lifestyle.
Wow! The stroll down Tiger path sure hit me like a gale at
sea, making me reflect at the sedated lifestyle I’ve allowed myself to fall
into, a couch potato, sitting and surfacing the computer and stumbling my way
through the labyrinths, of all that the world wide web had ensnarled not only
me but millions of folks into believing that there is nothing better in life
than the pleasure of illusions offered by the spiders.
Today the walk through the dense jungle and the ups and down
had me pooped, and gasping like a fish out of water, I know I have been out of
shape for sometime now but the reality of todays hike sure bore down on me
heavily. “It’s either I use it (My Legs)
or loose it!” The Verdict, I’m goanna use it”.
Here are some photographs I took while on my impromptu hikes
down the old hikers Trails.
