We decided to take a zero today as we had planned. I think we each needed some down time to put what happened at Trail Days in Damascus behind us. The four of us shared one hotel room. I mostly lounged around in the room. We went to Walmart to resupply. We will get back on trail in the morning. We have a little bit of a drive, so it could be 10:00 am before we start hiking. Hopefully no later.
I'm looking forward to trail life. The ups and downs (mountains) can be very challenging, but other than that life is very simple on trail. It's all about shelter, water, food, and enjoying nature along the way.
I hope to be in Harper's Ferry around June 1. A lot can happen in 200 miles, but that's my plan as of now.
I really appreciate everyone that has followed my blog. Thank you for your comments, I always look forward to reading them. I haven't always replied, because most of the time I'm using my cell phone and need to conserve the battery life. But, I can ensure you I have read all of them more than once.
Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThanks Jim! I'm looking forward to basketball next year.
DeleteThe incident @ Damascus was in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Such a tragedy, both for the driver of the car and for those injured in the parade. I concur with Rick and Amy about your photos. Really enjoy the vistas and random history lessons. Makes me want to at least do a day hike. Thanks for including us readers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Starla!
