the Smokies are done

So this post is retroactive, I haven't had internet in a hot second. Thank you all for supporting me in the way that you support me. The Smokies were a trying time for me. Good weather, but the mountains were difficult and I was being broken in during that time. Now I feel broken in.
I've been able to hike 20+ mile days since the Smokies were finished and my body became in shape. It makes me tired to hike like that, though, so it was nice to stay in this hostel last night. There was a bad storm last night, so it was cool to ride it out indoors. Now the Sandlot is on and other hikers have been popping beers and doing laundry all morning. Tempting to stick around for, but I've got my laundry clean and it is time for Monroe to hike.

  1. I miss you Monroe. We tried to get a dog last weekend. My vote was to name him Doug, but then we couldn't get one anyway. I hope you meet a lot of interesting people on the trail! Love you!
