Pizza and prayers

I didn't sleep well again, it's been three nights of unrested sleep.  Baby Face snores so loud he could wake the dead, nnhhhaaaaaahhhhh every breath. I was up early and Snuck out without making a sound. Packed up and hit the trail with Packer Hat and Ducky again, we had 20 miles in our plan … Continue reading Pizza and prayers

The other side

Waking up, the cool air kept me wanting to stay in bed.  The miles to go and the views for the day got me moving and out of bed. Climbing down from the loft I found I wasn't alone, there was a cute three legged dog that was down at the steps waiting for me.  … Continue reading The other side

One view and rocks galore

I woke refeshed, still angry but not tired.  I was so tired from the day before that I took my time getting out of bed.  My still wet clothes were cold going on while I packed up in no rush. I wasn't sure how far I would go for the day, I couldn't afford to … Continue reading One view and rocks galore

Falling out

Packing to leave Woodchuck's Hostel, everyone was off doing the own thing.  By the time I was easy to go they started to trickle back in to the hostel to finish packing.  I was sitting on the recliner when Kevin wanted to talk to me.  I knew this was coming, there was no way he … Continue reading Falling out

Off the trail

Box turtle had come in to the camp in the night, afraid, thirsty, wet, and tired. Having showed her the water and helping her back to feeling safe we went to bed.  Waking up after the rain is always the best, you feel refreshed and full again. Heading downhill for the next four miles we … Continue reading Off the trail

Laurel Falls

Waking up in the mist seemed like our normal thing these days. The night before wasn't that great and neither of us slept well.  Huckleberry and I ate and had one goal for the day, Laurel Falls.  We were both so excited the hike off the mountain went by pretty quick, probably due to us … Continue reading Laurel Falls

Double waterfall and Double Dinner

We ate breakfast at a the small town cafe, having biscuits, sausage, eggs, and bacon. Our bellies full, Huckleberry and I said goodbye to MacKenzie and Cash, knowing we wouldn't seem them again most likely.  They were taking a zero day to recoup for Cash and we were going to do some bigger miles. Getting … Continue reading Double waterfall and Double Dinner

The hobbit and the mist

Waking up at Over Moutain shelter I was quickly dismayed, there would be no sunrise this morning with the wind and rain. I yelled as I got out of my tent, it seems that I'm just missing the good stuff by a day or hours sometimes. Grabbing all my things, I headed for the shelter … Continue reading The hobbit and the mist

Smiles. Miles, and Views galore

I slept in a bit and was out by seven in the morning. The night before with everyone I ended up staying awake a little longer than I usually do. It's quite comical that around nine at night now I'm nearly useless unless I've read plenty of rest from the day before. Getting up and … Continue reading Smiles. Miles, and Views galore

Sunsets and friends

Miss Janet dropped us off at Iron Mountain Gap and we did our final photographs with her.  She loves to have lots of pictures of the hikers she helps along the way. This is just one of the many qualities to love about Miss Janet. Hating long goodbyes, I set out unnoticed and unseen.  I … Continue reading Sunsets and friends
