Rocksylvania

Well, there is one word to describe Pennsylvania and that is ROCKS. And our feet are feeling it! There are small round rocks to twist the ankle. There are angular, sharp rock intended to damage your feet. There are a few mid-size flat rocks that are fairly safe. Then there are the boulders. And rattle snakes like warm boulders so we chose to tackle the boulder scrambling in the morning. Sadly the only real “bad” thing about all of the rocks is that we were looking down constantly. We may have missed bear and other animals. I’m sure we missed some wildflowers. So after 2 weeks in PA we are ready for smoother trail.

That said, we had a wonderful visit with Gold Star parents Joe and Sheila Baddick who were wonderful hosts. They carted us around to various stores, we went to dinner, did laundry and HOT showers! They took us to the WWII air museum where Joe volunteers and is working on an actual plane (“Spider”) which will one day fly. It was wonderful catching up with them.

We are headed to Delaware Water Gap tomorrow (6/10) and are meeting Steve’s sister Cheryl. We’re excited to see her, pig out and hit REI!  We will also pass the 1300 mile mark and also enter NJ. Woohoo 🙌. Time is flying by. We thought a lot about Joel this week. Sure do miss my boy. 😢💔. We are aware of his spirit being with us. That means a lot. Much love to all of you. Until next time...Happy Trails!!

Prepping

I have almost 80 dinners vacuum packed. The breakfast skillet and biscuits and gravy are all set to go too. Working on the rest of dinners, lunch stuff and SNACKS. Major Costco run today for snack stuff.  Calories in are a the goal. YES, I'd like to drop the 20# I need to, but I want to do that from exercise vs. not having enough to eat. The poor weather has impeded our training a bit...who wants to walk in -20 degrees???  Not me!! That said, we've had some good 6 mile treks with 35# packs. We'll do okay I think. The plan is to fly to Atlanta 3/1/19...tickets purchased. Then start the AT either 3/2 or 3/3 depending on the weather and getting through the paperwork we need to. Happy to have YOU as a follower!  Peace - Judy

First Zero

Image
We began this marvelous and challenging journey on 3/2/19. One thing we’re learning is that many hikers resupply every 3-4 days to cut down on their pack weight, and often take a “zero “ day in town. This is a day of no hiking on the AT (Appalachian Trail). Well, tomorrow is our first zero day , 3/21/19. Today was a “nearo” day, or near zero, as we hiked out of Smokey Mountain National Park to Newfound Gap (5 miles) and a wonderful young man shuttled us to Hot Springs, NC where we are meeting Rachel and Patrick for 2 days of hiking. Some thoughts about the young people we have met thus far. First off, they are really committed to the environment. Secondly, they are kind, intelligent and fun. Steve and I both feel renewed hope for our Nation knowing the next generation of leaders really get it. Personally I have looked for signs of Joel’s presence on the AT and if the last week of sun doesn’t do it nothing will. Never mind that it was freezing and we hiked on ic covered rocks...very slo...

Reptile week

Image
With Spring comes rain and with rain comes critters who like being wet. We have seen many reptiles this week including the red eft which is the precursor to the Northeastern News. The r d eft develops from larvae hatched in the water. When it reaches sexual maturity on land it returns to the water and grows gills, loses its legs and becomes a newt. Here’s the red eft. In addition to the red eft we ran across these other reptiles. Perhaps they were looking for red eft lunches? We are not sure why a turtle and bullfrog would be hanging out at near 4000 feet if not for food! There was also a small black snake with an orange collar but he was too quick for me to get a picture!  The rat snake (black) was at least 36 inches long and really startled Jared and me. We are taking our 5th zero today in Waynesboro, VA and Sunday (Mother’s Day) begin Shenandoah National Park. We are excited about this as there is less severe elevation changes and we hope for some highe...
