  • Day 40 (Mile 625.8)Its been a few days since my last blog entry. I would like to say it was because I havent had time. But I suppose when all you do all day is walk, eat, and sleep its hard to use that as an excuse. Either way, I figured I would spend this…

  • Day 29 (Mile unknown) After leaving trail days I felt extremely droggy and still a bit burnt out. But I was able to crush some miles. Due to starting late (close to 11am) and the humidity. The hike was a struggle especially the climb out of Damascus. For the most part the hike shouldn’t have…

  • Day 25 (Mile 470) After waking up we knew we had a short 9-10 miles into Damscus for the start of Trail Days (while crossing into Virginia). Little did we know that the last 10 miles into town was incredibly easy and was a great grade for cruising some miles. We ended up crossing into…

  • Day 21 Continued (Mile 382.2) After I posted my blog, I set up my tent and was taking in the view when another thru hiker I knew came up the trail. He complemented me on my campsite and then mentioned the trail angels gave him 6 beers and offered me one. Obviously I accepted his…

  • Day 20 (Mile 366.1) Seeing that I had the luxury of a “full” night of the luxurious WiFi, and an Air Conditioner. I took full advantage and I stayed up maybe a little too late and caught up on the Boys before bed (I did strech and use my cork ball, so not a total…

  • Day 18 (Mile 344.6) Throughout the night, you could hear the winds whistling through the shelter as well as the surrounding woods. Thankfully the rain had not begun when I woke up at 6am. Knowing I had some open cut ridge walks in my day, I figured I would take advantage of the rain free…

  • Day 16 (Mile 294.8) After waking up at the Hotsprings Resort and Spa AT campsite section, I packed up and started to walk towards the laundry mat section of the camp. I had charged my power bank and phone close to 100% the night before. But I figured I would just give them a bit…

  • Day 15 (mile 275) Last night, I camped a quarter mile from Max Peak where the views were phenomenal. I was originally planning on catching a sunset and sunrise on the mountain. Howver after I posted my previous blog, I streched a bit and then passed out until after sunrise. So a total miscue on…

  • Day 13 (Mile 234.2) After making it to camp after resupplying I met a day hiker from Boston who gave me some of his beer and we got to talking. He told me that he came from Charlies Bunion and said it was well worth the detour. By the time I woke up I realized…

  • Day 10 (mile 181.1): After taking a shower and trying my best to recharge my power bank, I settled in for the night. Seeing that a storm was in the horizon, I was excited that I could try to sleep in (by sleep in I mean 7am). However, once I laid down the guy to…
