If you need a reason to get away from your computer screen
right now and go on a hike, try this…74-year-old Floridian and great-grandmother Joan Hobson is out on a hike
herself right now, walking 1,000 plus miles across her state on the
Florida Trail as a way to celebrate her 75th
birthday this year. The kicker,
according
to the Palm Beach Post, is that she is doing this hike, which she started on Dec. 28 and hopes to finish in
May, for the third time now. Her former two go a rounds were in 1997 and 2000. You go Joan!
UPDATE: Joan is working with the Florida Trail Association, an organization which maintains the Florida Trail,
to tell her tale as she goes. Read about her latest trail travels
