If you are too old then probably 90% of the folks here are way too old. I would guess that average age in this group is well over 50. I am 83 and I have been doing most of my hiking from state forest campgrounds or on old logging roads for the last couple of years. I have a tent unit which encloses the back of my pickup and I have a canopy to cook under. I live in Michigan and the North country Trail goes near several rustic campgrounds so I sleep in the truck and day hike out from there. I will drive to the campground, set up and then hike about 5 miles south with many stops to smell flowers etc. Then I return to the truck and just chill and read a book for the rest of the day. The next day I do the same thing going north. Then I either drive back home or move to the next campground or move further down the trail.
