Anyway, did just under 7 miles. Boy was that tiring. Arches and knees. Thank God I am not 41lb overweight.
Hopefully my pack will weigh less when I actually go, but that is probably doubtful. Unless I don't take my camera, which is fairly heavy.

Did your urban hike take you through the more seedy areas of Dallas? Would your chances for survival in the wild be higher or lower than those areas? Do you get a discount for Doc Martens because you're a professional contemporary?
Inquiring minds....
