“Because In the End, You Won’t Remember The Time You Spent Working In The Office or Mowing Your Lawn. Climb That Damn Mountain!”
–Jack Kerouac
When a person hikes one mountain and valley after another...for 8-10 hours a day, the mind tends to wander :) (or hallucinate......not sure which it is!). And I had a tendency to think about some "miscellaneous" ideas for the blog. For example, MacGyver took a picture of us each and every day while on the trail. I won't show you all 29 pictures but a snapshot of them:
On the photos above, do you see a pattern in the variety of clothes we are wearing (or lack of variety)? Well here is the verdict:
MacGyver:
Salmon shirt: wore it 16 times
Light grey shirt: wore it 13 times
Survivor:
Green shirt: wore it 17 times (GO GREEN!)
Blue shirt: wore it 12 times (GO the other team in Michigan :)
So you see......many random thoughts I came up with while walking....
We finally found a water source!!
My camp shoes for the entire trip. Who said you had to have expensive gear to hike the AT!
MacGyver has already lost A LOT of weight!
One comes across some of the strangest things at times on the trail.
Cheers to a well deserved break.

Hi Possum! MacGyver and I finished up on Sept.7th with 351 miles in this year. False alarm on MacGyver taking ill. He was dehydrated but recovered in about 2 days. Was great to meet you this year!
