The author, Jim Lobley, has hiked on every continent in the world and has done so since he turned sixty. Now seventy-seven he continues to find adventures that keep him active. A normal week for Jim consists of morning hikes or pickleball Monday through Saturday and church on Sunday. I try to hike a minimum of 20 miles every week and at least 6-9 hours of pickleball. However, if there is a game involving one of his grandchildren that takes precedent over all other activity. He has announced local North Hagerstown, Md high school sports for thirty-five years, the last two years involving his grandchildren. Jim and his wife Pam enjoy hiking throughout the United States in particular the Appalachian Trail in Pa., Va., WV., Md. as well as Arizona and Wyoming. Jim also gives talks to local civic clubs in and around his hometown. See less
