While my husband and I do our 3 to 6 mile walk each day I have been wondering about your method of finding distant white blazes.
We expect you have figured that out. Perhaps, going with other hikers along the way.
Also, without your dog to sniff the trail : may your senses be sharp and your nose be strong.
May the spirit of your guide dog ( in retirement ) be with you on the trail.
