Way to go on accomplishing the big 100! Whatever your 2010 plans turn out to be, definitely try to fit in a camera-trapping hike. The fire put a real dent in my progress, but I'm back at it now. Been following your blog, and am very happy for you!

Hey, man, I wanted to thank you. I have been trying to get my big ass back on the trails this year after being hiking like crazy all through 2008 and then wimping out after the spring of last year when the temps went crazy and then the Station Fire killed most of the access to the Angeles which I so enjoyed exploring. I was feeling like wimping out on my planned Sunday hike but your little video inspired me, so thanks! I would love to meet up with you for a hike some time; I live in Monrovia, right next door to you, and have a goal of doing the Clamshell/Monrovia Peak loop in the late fall. Got to get my fat ass in shape first. Anyway, if you want to reach out feel free. See you on the trails amigo!
--Mike

You might just get your Dad and me out and about on some more of the San Francisco and Bend Oregon Trails this year - we fit your description of "100 (not often) hikers"- unless golf course hikes count. Come to think of it, I think they might.
Proud of your goals! - basically the fitnes part ... hope some of it will rub off on us

Congrats on your search & rescue acceptance! These are such great goals, and yes, you can totally do 500 miles this year. I want to go on some of your hikes, so I guess I'm going to have to find some hiking newbies to join us. (You know... to balance it all out).

Sounds cool Kolby, congrats on the S&R Team!

The 150 people could be challenging - let me offer my assistance by mentioning that I haven't hiked in a while...

Exciting! Looking forward to joining you for some of those 500 miles :)

Congratulations! An amazing and admirable feat. Yes, the outdoors does indeed change you. I think you are noticing it so much now because you have been out there so often. There is a familiarity, a solidarity with nature that comes with frequent, repeated contact. You become tuned to different rhythms and sounds and smells and they be come entwined with the fabric of your being. It allows your soul to expand and encompass the wider world, the world that the majority of that mass of people behind you in Los Angeles will never experience--and sadly don't care to.

People like you are special--and lucky, fortunate, and blessed to become one with nature. It is a balm, a tonic, a cure for what ails us. It is the church for those who know there is something beyond the brick and morter boundaries of human places of worship. It is the domain of myriad creatures who are our brothers and sisters. It is our true home. And the way home is only a hike away.

Kindest regards and all the best for the New Year!

Great video! I may see if my son is up for a hike this weekend. We'll have to bundle up it's supposed to be in the 20's here this week.

Great job! I wish I could get motivated to get out more often. It seems I always have an excuse though.

When do we get to hear about your next project? I'm ready to join in on the fun... unless it involves heights or tiny enclosed spaces... then, I'll just stay on the ground (or outside the caves) and cheer you on.

Thank you Kolby! 100 hikes has been an inspiration. Your site is nicely designed, this video is professionally produced and a joy to watch. Your message is well received. I have lots of your posts summed up on my site with links back to your website, drop by again any time.

I am about to embed this video at TracksAndTrails because you have a gift to speak the message that I want to share....in four words - Take a hike, eh! (Sorry for the Canadian accent, eh.)

Bravo, Sir. It was a pleasure to come along on #46(?), and certainly a pleasure to have had you share your Grand Adventure with us!

Now, get to work blogging about all the hikes we've missed reading about so far! ;-)
