A Walk To Portland

In order to enhance my faltering super-macho reputation, I walked up to Dave and Sara’s house in Portland (52 miles) on Thurs & Fri. It wasn’t bad except my crappy “hiking” shoes betrayed me, leaving my feet in shambles. To wit:
Anyone who knows the ins and outs of buying GOOD hiking shoes, please contact me with details.
Other sights along the road:

Traveling Outhouse

Mills on Saco River

You're saved--if you can decipher this sign!

Murder at the school bus stop.

CRS, looks like that bad boy on the heel is ready for popping! Why not try a pair of walking shoes, or lightweight running shoes.

Chuckie, could be your socks, a loose pair or bad blend can rubya raw. How about some smart wool ones? I've had good results with them. Already saved.

Bill-walked up the shore road to Ogunquit, Route 1 from there to Portland. Stayed in motel in Kennebunk but saw no Bushes. Next walk will be to Boston. Took photo in color w/ digital camera, then changed to B&W in iPhoto. Marg: I was advised by Kittery Trading Post to go with Smartwool. I bought others instead (no, not cheaper!); I'm sadder now but wiser.
