As you can guess this one is on my stubbornness/thickhead/ornery. You can see it in the words of my mom as she did up an update, while I was working on mine: “She started on the 31st in cold, pouring rain. The ranger at Amacalola state park (Georgia) strongly suggested to drive up to the falls as the 604 steps […]

Out of 380.5 miles I have never seen a bear. Though I would love to see a bear………. In the Smokies there was 3 instances where a bear came in the camping area. This instance that I’m just about to tell you I didn’t tell my parents and my man because I knew they would go into over protective stress […]

I know, I know this update is late. You ladies and gents are chomping at the bit to know how my hike is going. From the NOC, Nantahala Outdoor Center, to Fontana Dam the terrain was harder than thought and it was to hard for me to start cranking out big miles that I want and was making me feel […]
l took full zero in Franklin just to avoid some really cold nights on the trail. Ended up doing a short day coming back from town to taking another zero in my tent to avoid getting soaked and cold from the rain the day after I got back out. Though waiting out the rain gave me a good day to […]
Georgia Georgia Georgia. The only thing that comes to mind is “You are a mean one Mr. Grinch” from How The Grinch Stole Christmas. The whole 78.1 was brutal.
