Looks like a fairly high probability I'll be moving to Murray, Kentucky for the next school year. On the off-chance anyone who reads this has information they might want to share with me about the area, I'd welcome the feedback.
Probably leaving within three weeks, so I may be down to my last few hikes out here in southern California for a while.
There's a large national recreation area (Land Between the Lakes) near Murray, so I expect I'll be able to post those hikes in early August. Once the school year starts, hiking will be a little tougher, but I do hope to have time for some weekend trips around my new temporary home.

Having thoroughly enjoyed our downtime along the gurgling banks of the
Bruneau River, found ourselves racing north along Rowland Road shortly

Wow, what are you studying and how long will you be there?
ReplyDeleteNot studying--teaching. Don't want to say in which department yet, at least not on this thread, since I haven't received the formal written offer, yet. I don't think I've said anything that would cause me trouble, but I don't want to take the chance.
ReplyDeleteTurns out I did hike Idlehour today, but haven't finished doing the write-up, yet. I'll finish that tomorrow.
Congratulations, SkyHiker! I'll miss your trail updates of our beloved San Gabriel Mountains. I was in a similar situation for over 6 months as I searched for work and hiked to stay sane, but 2 weeks ago I started a new job, though now I miss the beauty of the deserted trailhead on a weekday morning.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yeah, there's something to be said for hiking on the weekdays. :D I know I ran into and chatted with a number of people on those hikes who were also unemployed and trying to make the best of the situation.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finding local work. I spent nearly two years trying to stay local without success. I still hope to come back, but all that time spent on futile searches has left me pessimistic about southern California.
