Intrepid Texan

Welcome to my hiking website. This is a hobby, a work in progress.

Intrepid is my trail name and I’m a Texan, hence the website name. I’ve hiked hundreds of miles in the past few years, mostly along the various Camino Santiago trails in France, Portugal and Spain but also segments of the Pacific Crest and Appalachian Trails. I prefer the Camino because there is an infrastructure of hostels and restaurants that reduce the pack from 60# to around 20# or less.

The website contains information that I hope you find of value when planning your early Camino adventures. Once you’ve hiked a path or two you’ll develop your own “system” but until then perhaps my experiences will help you along “the way”.
