I get to watch the sunrise and sun set every day jest like back on the trail. but I still miss the trail and my trail family every day. this past week one of them came to visit for a few days on her way down to Miss, and this winter we will be gitting to gather for a hike in KY at all smiles home so I cant wate for that till next time keep on keepen on happy trails

island life

well this time last year i was about to start my hike and as much as i wish i was doing it agen this yrear but this year i have difernt plans . right now i find my self liveing on an island in the Chesapeake bay working for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation doing evro ed work . there are no hills down here to walk over but i think i might like the flat land life for a year or so because i still spend most of my day outside in a canoe or on are big work boat. till next time keep on keepen on happy trails Wiffle Ball

10/29 life post trail

well ive been home for some time now and not a day gose bye that i dont wish i was back on the trail its crazy how much you miss jest walking in the woods. ive picked up some new hobbys post trail like running i now love to run i try to get in a few miles every night but do to a toe issue i have been abel to run for a week or so, but befor that i was up to 10.3 miles as my long run and 5 miles about avg. another thing is climbing i had done it befor the trail and liked it but at my bigger size it was tuf so now that im down to a smaller size im going to give it another go and start climbing more. i have found that i sleep a lot beeter in my tent then i do in a house so i spend 2 night a week camping most weeks i have spent more time in my tent after my hike then i did the 2 years leeding up to my hike is kind of crazy. work work work , im lucky that i have been abel to get a lot of hours up at outdoor school geting to spend my time outside and hiking with some great people. so un like most the hikers i spent time on the trail with im not locked in a bilding, so i think that has helped me a lot i dont kno how i wold be mind wise if i had to spend my days inside. im planng my next hike its going to be the PCT in 5 years that shud give me some time to save up $$. i jest hope i can hold it togather for that long, ther is so much about the trail that i miss not jest the hiking and beeing outside but the people i was spending my days with , im lucky to have had the chang to meet so many amazeing hikers and non hikers that helped along the way, thank you to every one that i meet and every one that saported me along the way. keep on keeping one till the next big hike wiffle ball GA-->ME 12'

78 miles to go I can't believe I'm so close to the what ever it is in 78 miles whether its jest the end of an amazing trip or if its jest the gate way to many more great trips,( I'm leaning towards the latter)
