Back in the Saddle

Well, the time has finally come. I am headed back out - Into the Wild.

This time - with my brother.

We leave June 4th from Pine Grove Furnace - and our goal is the Delaware Water Gap by June 19th. We'll see how that 200 miles in 2 weeks turns out.

I'm super excited to go back. The things I think I'm most looking forward to are: hard work and sweat, meeting new people, spending time with Keith - and of course, eating!

I've been running - maybe against my will - and I feel physically and mentally ready.


For the two weeks we are out to start, I will not mail home journals, but I'll update when I get back. We leave for Russia June 24 and return to the states July 5th. The plan is to head back out for an undetermined amount of time after Russia - conquering another great portion of the AT.

It's on my mind. My feet are itching. I can't wait to get started!

I heard from the hikers last night. They were in Port Clinton, PA, near Hamburg. They seem well and having a good time!
