Day 24 & 25

The guys are basically better. They can eat food and drink water. 

Myself on the other hand, really regressed in the past 3 days. I can't eat or drink, and I'm back to vomiting and diarrhea whenever my body says it's time. 

Dad picked us up yesterday and brought us over to banner elk, so I'm going to go to an urgent care of an ER to try and gets some meds.

My first priority really is to be able to drink more than a pint of water each day without dispensing more than that out of me. Food would be great and all, but being able to drink water again would really be cool. 

I can't tell if my symptoms are due to norovirus + dehydration and they're just amplifying each other, or if something else is going on. 

I don't have a lot of faith in finding the answer out after someone asks me a few questions, but again, maybe there's some sort of medicine they can give me that'll calm, or solidify, my stomach. 

Anything to drink water again. 

I'll try to keep the updates coming.

Day 0

Good evening. We are now officially back on trail. And as for Spencer, he's on trail for the first time. It's good to be back! Our time line for the day was as follows: Woke up at 5:15  Started driving at 6:05 Left Kristina at 6:35 Met Walker and Spencer at 6:36 Learned that Walker left his phone with Ashley at 6:37 Ashley came back at 6:48 Checked a bag and got through security by 7:10 Finished breakfast by 7:45 Boarded at 8:00 Got on the runway at 8:10 Took off at 8:22 Landed at 10:33 Got picked up at 11:10 Got dropped off at amicalola at 12:50 Started hiking at 1:15 Finished hiking by 4:30 Had camp set up by 4:45 Finished the blog by: right now Before I start talking about the trail, the whole concept that we as humans just fly around in metal boxes and view it as completely normal is mind boggling. I know it's just physics and engineering but still, that fact that I was going 550 mph at 30k elevation is crazy.  Okay -- trail time. Walker and I both looked at each other

My Thoughts 1 Week Out

Hello again, Walker and I are going back on trail, and this time, Spencer is joining us too.  Truth be told, I've been in the process of writing this post for more than a year and I'm still not sure how I want to introduce my mindset going into this hike.  I'd say there are three emotions that have been top of mind for the last couple years: excitement, curiosity, and frustration.  Starting with the obvious, I'm overjoyed that I'm in good enough physical and mental health to do a thru hike. You never quite know what can change over the course of 4 years, and in reality, something unforeseen could happen any second. As I've mentioned time and time again (for those who know me well), being outdoors leaves me with an aura of wonder and superiority. Not that I am better than those that don't hike the AT, but that I am fundamentally doing something more valuable than I have been. And it's not exactly clear to me why that is. To a degree, even though this hike

Test Post

Testing for visibility. For anyone who sees this and plans to comment throughout the hike, please leave a comment below or make a profile so you can interact with the blog for the next 4 months. Posts of the hike will begin on the 20th or 21st of February since we officially begin on the 21st. Just to note, you don't need an account to view the blog, but if you want to comment at any point you'd need one I believe. Looking forward to sharing this journey with everyone.  Thanks,  Tyler.
