End of an Era and a New Adventure

Many of you who live close know that I sold my place last July in 2017. This was extremely difficult decision for me that has been difficult to write about. My place in the woods will hold a special place in my heart always as I spend most of my 65 years up there on and off. The most significant being living there from 2002 to 2015 full time. The beauty and the struggle of living full time remotely became must more difficult for me after my accident in 2008 and I had to find other work that was less physical to finish my working years.I completed this video in remembrance of the place I loved. I now retired as of April 2nd. My love of the woods has moved me to a new adventure and I will be hiking the Appalachian Trail starting April 21st, 2018 at Front Royal, Virginia and going north to Maine, then coming back to Front Royal and going South.  I am taking this strategy due to over crowding on the trail, which I hope to avoid and be able to enjoy nature more. For those of you who care to watch my adventure I will be posting it to YouTube on my Channel Windeagle Martin as much as possible. I miss Leetonia and will always have it in my heart.

It happens to all of us as we get older and our health is not young anymore. Live to the fullest that you can now and good luck to you. Sorry to see you go. I am still able to live in Cammal and get around a little but don't look foreword to that changing which I know will happen sometime. God speed and good luck on your new adventure.
