Day 42

All we did was zero at Chuck's today. We played darts, ate a bunch of food, and we did a resupply. 

We have 45 miles to pearisburg which we plan to do in two days. Then the girls come down and we'll zero with them. 

Should be a fantastic time. 

Thanks for following along, 
Tyler M.

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.

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.
