[mapsmarker marker=”37″] Day: 39 Trail Miles: 199.1 Rain. Snow. Pain. Slow. That kind of sums up the last few days. I finally entered the “dreaded” Smoky Mountains. Why dreaded. Well first there is the whole bureaucracy involved with getting through the park. Can’t even escape The Man in the woods. Add to that every previous […]
[mapsmarker marker=”41″] Day: 23 Trail miles: 124.4 Part of the right of passage, or maybe a true induction into the Appalachian Trail Community, involves adopting a Trail Name. These names come about in many different ways though all will be influenced by the trail itself. Some choose their own name, some will have it chosen […]
Now that most of the supplies prep has been taken care of, I have run out of good excuses not to be focusing on the body prep. I have used such excuses as winter, being transportationally challenged, running out of room as supplies take over the space, and boredom with routine as excuses to NOT […]
I have been pretty busy the last several days. Ironically, the busier I am, the less I feel I accomplish. But that is nothing new. It all has to do with relativity and the ultimate ethereality of super science. But I can proudly say, that whatever has kept me busy has been with one primary […]
Now that we are approaching the end of 2013, it dawns on me that it also means that 2014 is … RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!! This means that this hike thing is coming up very soon. I am not saying I am nervous or any such nonsesadgjsokdlbks Sorry. Dropped my keyboard. I still have a […]
Climbing up hills can be hard work … especially when those hills are figurative. I have fallen into a time in which I seem to be making little progress in ANYTHING I do, which is very disheartening. I started of this year with all sorts of fresh ideas, that were exciting and seemed to have […]
It was rightly pointed out to me in begging plea for assistance yesterday that not everyone will really have a clue what I am talking about … especially with regards to the charity donations thang. Not that many people often have a clue what I am talking about (including me). Maybe some came along later and […]
Here I am again. I have been suffering from a severe bit o’ “Why bother getting out of bed?” It is not so much depression but a basic lack of progress in … well just about anything … lately. It is hard to motivate when no matter what level of energy we put in nothing […]
It has been a long time since a proper update, considering changes along the way, life, summer, and other minor interferences. I am considering all progress Mark made until his body decided to pull a Benedict Arnold on him as still valid for pledges … as long as those who made the pledges are still […]
I was gabbing with Mark the other day and we mentioned getting more people following us and throwing their hard-earned cash at charities in our name. Mark suggested that more nudity was needed on the blog to get our numbers up. It made sense to me, so I decided to offer this picture to help […]
