I have come 1565.9 miles and today will be leaving Massachusetts and entering my 12th state. Vermont has been looming over our heads for a while and we finally get to see what it is made of. Today I will also traverse the highest point in Massachusetts at Mount Greylock. Surprisingly Connecticut and Massachusetts have [...]

Just heard from Trill a few minutes ago. He has not had phone coverage the last few days so it was good to hear his voice. The last contact we had was the package we received yesterday from Kent, CT sent 6/3. It was his stove and fuel bottles…no note, so we were very interested [...]
New Jersey. Been pretty sunny the last couple of days. Got into the high 80’s yesterday which means a lot of water drinking. Still knocking out those miles and moving on up. Spent a couple of days with Dynamite and last night I stayed with Don Juan and Master Alex (a quebecois) in a church [...]
Thats right believe it or not today is a beautiful day. Maybe that is nothing new for y’all down south or around the world but it is a great relief here. It has rained something like the last 12 of 13 days I’ve been on the trail. We even got hail a few times and [...]
I talked to Trill yesterday and he was going into Port Clinton, PA (political comments withheld) to shower up and feed at a hostel there. He was with some other hikers so he is meeting up with others along the way. The last few days have been rainy but he has been knocking [...]

There is a state park near the halfway point and in this state park is a campstore. The campstore puts on the “Half Gallon Challenge”. Any flavor of ice cream in any time frame. You [...]
“Plus Twelve” passed on the pictures he was able to take on his recent trip with Roundhouse and Trill. You can see both of the boys wanted to wish a happy mother’s day to the two moms that are worrying, praying and rooting them on as they have a trip of a lifetime. Oh [...]
I just got back this afternoon from spending 3 days on the trail with the guys and it was great! They met me with 4 other hikers they knew at the station in Harper’s Ferry WV and then to dinner. Bad Hummus, Todie Bear, Yedi and I can’t remember the other the last hiker’s [...]
Not really the best place to update the blog but I’ll let you know that all is well. We got packages from family and a nice little box from AUO. Nice suprise. Thanks to all of you. We love getting packages and just seeing what could be in them. Im currently at the Appalachian Trail [...]
Just got a call from the hikers and they are in Front Royal, VA and have made it through the Shenandoah National Park. I thought this section would be one of the prettiest of the trail but they seemed to like the Great Smokies better. It had less roads, more seclusion, higher peaks [...]
