Well, it looks like the calcs I made that led me to try an early
semi-retirement were, um, somewhat overly optimistic. AND the
only decent job in my field I've been able to find is all the way
across the country, in Washington DC (aka The Belly of the
Beast).


So, leaving aside for the moment at least the whole question of
life, as in having to work for a living, sucking big time....


...it appears there are a lot of small secluded Appalachian
mountain streams in my future, the sort it wouldn't be fun
getting to wearing my Simms Freestones.


Any recommendations for lightweight Aquastealth or (preferably)
studded Aquastealth hiking-boot-style wading boots?


In particular, any experiences with either Cabela's Ultralights
(http://tinyurl.com/yve7tg) or LL Bean's River Treads
(http://tinyurl.com/2zswg2)?


Some people on another site have suggested the Korker
Convertibles, but I wonder if they've solved the problem of the
soles coming loose....


I know some folks like to hike in using regular hiking boots,
carrying wading boots in a pack, but I'd like to keep things as
simple as possible. Being a klutz, I'm also not keen on the
notion of wading in normal hiking boots.


Observations on life sucking will of course be entertained, as
always.


Thanks,


JR


i **** in the face of the great whore, retirement. other than
that, from boots i know nothing.
