A good friend of mine is starting her Thru-Hike of the Appalachian Trail next week. You can follow her blog at the link below. Georgia to Maine, Springer Mountain to Katahdin, 2179. 1 miles, 14 States, the equivalent of 17 Everest Summits, a Thru Hike of the Appalachian Trail.

Life is short, live it full-bore everyday. This is my story, and occassionally the story of my friends. Tuesday, February 28, 2006. When you make a deal with the Devil, you should expect trouble. I was in the air about 300 miles south of Georgetown, Guyana, heading south. The sky was partly cloudy and the white, cottony cumulus were pretty to look at, but rough to fly in and around. The late spring tropical air was warm and getting warmer as the late morning approached noon. I stared at the fuel gauge.

Up the Hill, Down the Hill, Repeat. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Made it to Damascus, Va! Crazy crazy. 5 miles in one day, and 75 miles in basically 5 days! Intense hike. It was the usual nasty finish to drop in to town, down off the mountain. About a mile of steep drop! We came out into town and stumbled through a park, found the rest of the team sprawled by a river, eating Doritoes! We went and sat in the stream, cooling the dogs.
