Why?

Here's the answer to a question almost everyone asks: Why?
The answer actually has 4 parts.

First I want to prove I can do it. I haven't had a major challenge since the marathon in 1996 and basically want to see, as Rocky says, "if there's anything left in the basement".

Second, because very few people have hiked the trail end to end.

Third, I love & teach history. There's a lot of history associated with the Katy.

Fourth , to prove something to my son and former students. I've always preached that you can do anything you want as long as you have a goal and am willing to work hard to get there.

I hope this answers the questions for everyone.
