AJ's thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail: There are times when doing what you want and doing something good just slip into the same space. My Mom has cancer. I planned to hike the Appalachian Trail. Those two things happened together. Now I'm asking folks to help other women in need by pledging support for my trip. Enough people with just a penny a mile can do some good for those who do not have access to the type of care my mom has recieved. Thanks much and please follow me on my wanderings.

Long day. Only 17 miles, but over 9000 ft of elevation gain. Fantastic day with amazing views from Roan Knob. Settled in for another cold night.
Hey Apple Juice. I hear ya. Cold, wet days suuuck.
Yet, I long for the trail, somehow only remembering the good times. I'm sure you'll feel it too (after a few weeks post-thru-hike thinking "I'm never hiking again!")
Hope you've got enough stuff to keep you warm. I'm sure it'll be cool at that elevation. Hang in there AJ
ReplyDeleteMom said some serendipity came your way today. Bravo! I suspect some of that was God smiling. Say hi to the P's for me.
ReplyDeletePeace be with you, Dad

In the meantime, Springer awaits. Make it happen.
