I've been thinking about this for way too long. With my 50th birthday coming up in November, I've decided to move from thinking and talking about my Trail of Tears Adventure, to logistical planning and implementation.
There are four distinct routes of the Indian Removal along the Trail of Tears. I've decided to traverse these using various modes of transportation, with the last trek on foot, just as my ancestors traveled it.
In addition to my need to get into shape physically for this extended adventure, I also decided to get my motorcycle endorsement, purchase a motorcycle, and do as much of the four routes as possible on a bike, and as many of those as I can solo.
