Location: Spruce Mountain I woke up at Lost Pond Shelter after the northbounders staying there had already eaten breakfast and packed their gear. They were three older hikers who all needed their time in the mornings. I jumped up at 7:30 on the spot and was packed before they knew it. I ate my usual […]
Detox at Pico Camp – AT Thru-Hike Day 67
Location: Pico Camp I woke up this morning feeling significantly better though I was starving. I hadn’t eaten anything yesterday and everything that was in my stomach I threw up. The rain fell hard this morning in a frightening thunderstorm. The peak above the shelter was certainly hit by lightning. The wind blew loudly through […]
Sobering Up At Pico Camp – AT Thru-Hike Day 66
Location: Pico Camp I woke up this morning feeling worse than I did yesterday. I got sick as soon as I crawled out of my tent just before Noon. I packed everything up immediately and returned to the Blue 4Runner to say goodbye to Charlie, Outlaw, Ninja and Thirsty. I could barely focus enough to […]
Digging Deep Rut outside Rutland – AT Thru-Hike Day 64
Location: Sherburne Pass I slept through my work for my work for stay this morning. I was supposed to help Cashen in the café. I took my time getting out of the hostel this Saturday morning. I visited the farmers’ market in town and the local bookstore. I decided not to buy anything. I visited […]
Exploring Deeper the Twelve Tribes Cult – AT Thru-Hike Day 63
Location: Rutland, Vermont It wasn’t hard for me to convince myself to take another zero day with the Twelve Tribes. I am just a little tired of hiking. I am however ready to return to the trail tomorrow. I think I am ready at least. I’ve got an itch to hike tomorrow. I had an […]
Partying Too Hard at Twelve Tribes – AT Thru-Hike Day 62
Location: Rutland, Vermont I woke up on the cold floor this morning. I need to remember that when I am drinking alcohol, I cannot handle as many beers as I could before the trail. I have 25 lbs fewer on my body and I don’t drink as often as I did. I actually wonder if […]
Meet the Twelve Tribes Cult – AT Thru-Hike Day 61
Location: Rutland, Vermont Today marks two months since I began my trip. I am far behind schedule, but I am behind because I am having a great time. Hopefully I am not hurting my chances of finishing because I am moving so slowly. I probably need to push a little harder, but the trail and […]
Hiking Through Hot Pastures in Vermont – AT Thru-Hike Day 59
Location: Unknown I left the shelter late this morning because I only planned to hike 14 miles. The heat began to drain my energy as soon as I began climbing the hills in Vermont. I walked though a lot of pastureland today. The hills are still challenging, but the miles are pleasant. The heat is […]
Entering Vermont – AT Thru-Hike Day 58
Location: Thistle Hill I woke up early with the sun this morning. I was completely wet from the early morning dew. I only got out of my sleeping back because I couldn’t fall asleep. The grocery store hadn’t opened yet, but I grabbed a couple Gatorades and a pop-tart at the gas station. I sat […]
Self-Reflection in Hanover – AT Thru-Hike Day 57
Location: Hanover, NH Last night I camped in the woods just off the soccer field. The bugs were bad, so I didn’t stay awake late to talk to the obnoxious people while they smoked pot. As it turns out, three were from North Carolina and they were all Duke Basketball fans but not Duke graduates. […]
