We are in Front Royal VA at the brand new Samuels Public Library, stopping in town for a resupply, recharge, and upload before entering the Shenandoah National Park for the next 100 miles! We are doing great on the trail making 18 & 21 miles the past 2 days. The temp finally dropped a little after the storm front that dropped an inch or two on Saturday. We have dried out and are ready for the traverse of Skyline drive!!!
Here are some shots from Maine!
Peaceful hiking along a lake in Maine!
A note left for Myco & Tekla!


Next is a short video from the top of Mt. Katahdin!!
110 mile visibility
The blue blazes to the right of the Carin are the beginning of the Knife's Edge Trail, the way we chose to descend, probably my favorite mile of the trip so far!
Thanks Y'all for the emails of encouragement, they mean alot. The prayers probably go farther because things seem to have a way of working out for us most of the time! I better get back to the path since Sallie is outside waiting for me to return!!!

Peace, Love, & Happiness!

  3. Loved the video! You surprised me with the way you showed your shoes then came up to that smile that I love! Then the 360 view was absolutely phenominal! What an incredible adventure! Love, Mom
