My son Tyler has debated blogging for a long time, and today he asked me to set him up. He just wrote his first post. Proud papa!
Hiking Scuol to Guarda
We got into Guarda this afternoon just before 4pm. We made our way through the town to the Messier Lodge and unlacing the hiking boots felt so unbelievably good. We hiked 10.7 miles over 5h 25m. It was a long day and the last couple of miles my feet and legs were feeling it. It was a great accomplishment and I’m going to rest the legs and body for tomorrow!

I’m not particularly enthusiastic about Bluesky but I do have it setup and have micro.blog syndicating my posts. I do like how Bluesky supports using your domain as your profile name and was happy to set that up. You can find @jamie.thingelstad.com and @weekly.thingelstad.com.
Needed two more sets of hiking poles for our trip to Switzerland. Tyler and I went to REI and after consulting with the hiker in the store decided on LEKI sticks. I got the Makalu Cork Lite and he got the Lhasa.
