Enjoyed your article, Bill. Having done a bit of backpacking in my day I now look forward to bikepacking. Cover more ground, easier on the knees. Just would like to add Guthook is now known as Farout and have used it on the Ohio Buckeye Trail which is in my backyard. Highly recommend the Farout app.

I have the Farout app on my phone but have yet to use it much (yet!). I imagine it's Aqua Map for land travel. This chatbot has yet to learn about 2021 and 2022 and doesn't know that Guthook was sold and had a name change. It is wild to play with the ChatGPT site and watch it "type" out answers to my questions. It's free. You should enjoy trying it out. There is a limit to the number of users at one time. So if you go to that website and tell it you are just trying it out, if there is space in the sandbox, you'll see what looks like a chat window, and after you type and submit your question, after a minute or three, you can watch the bot type the answer. It's cool because it knew I was asking about the trail, and so in subsequent questions, I didn't mention the trail, but it knew that I was talking about it from previous questions. Wile.
