The forest is greening up rapidly. Our team is still together but issues are arising. Not between the four of us but in our own physical frailties that this hike examines.
I’ve switched out several items from my winter gear and dropped about eight pounds in weight from my pack. The difference is startling.
Next week we hit the Shenandoahs. Can’t wait.







Thanks for the update!
Glad to hear the Mighty Blues were not relegated. I hope Cushie can rejoin your tramily soon.
So great to see you in Troutville and then again, coincidentally, at Devil’s Backbone last night. Keep up the good work and great hiking. We will be thinking about you as you hike north, especially as you get towards CT. Keep us posted. Take care and happy hiking.
