We used to go by our trail names - Brahma Bull and Sweet Potato - and those were the days we would sit atop our Thermarests after hiking 18.2 miles and agree with a Zen-like and dirty-fingernailed motion toward the trees that 'walking distance' was a relative term. Now that we shower regularly, brew coffee every morning using electricity, and are unable to confuse our names with either vegetables or animals, we know. Walking distance really is about half a mile.
Two young adventurists set out with probably too much gear and lots of moleskin to conquer their fears on a footpath from Georgia to Maine. Come the rain on bombproof tent, the unlaceable boot and the black fly; bring the mouseless shelter, the wifi-accessible trail town, the dry socks and the dog-friendly B&B; lo the blazing sunsets, the drinkable streams, the indifferent black bears and the breathtaking vistas: we are hiking the Appalachian Trail.
thank you so much for the call - I'm looking forward to seeing you next week - I'm starting to go crazy! 2.5 weeks down, 1 week to go. Hopefully we can hang out - I can give you the full Rutland tour - and then I should be able to catch you, as I am SO ready to hike again. remember - hike your own hike (you don't want to hike mine!). Peace out. Blaze '08
hey guys! Emily again. Just dropping by to check up on your progress...Way to go! I am on the road heading to Texas. Registration day is aug 15th, 3 days away! See you at Christmas! ~Em
p.s.- Dustin, Dad and Will said you need to shave! :p haha
Hi Guys! You are doing a great job and we are very proud of you! School's starting here soon, Molly has started taking gymnastics (or flipping class as she calls it), we got a Bassett Hound puppy named Deacon (what were we thinking), Molly is turning 3 on the 29th, the twins will be 2 on Sept. 11 and we can't wait to see you!
Keep pressing on! Can't wait to hear your awesome stories and see you in Mill Creek again! Love to you both, Toni Jill
We LOVE being able to track you as you do this "dream come true" adventure! My daughter, Tobi and her hubby are also reading and loving it. We miss you in the Burg. Dave and Elliott are going on their FIRST white water rafting trip with the youth this weekend. Nicky is visiting a friend from his orphanage in NC and Ty is playing league football! Oh yeah...we are pregnant with a "GOLDENDOODLE" puppy that we are going to Ohio to get in November! God is blessing us and it certainly isn't boring around here. Me...I'm just trying to be the queen and not the slave!
We all love and miss you tons! Your Burg Fam, The Schweickert's
