So I hate to do things this way, but when I first purchased this web address, I assumed I would have constant access to the internet throughout my travels. Once I found myself out on my first of many treks, the attempt at the world record for hiking the Appalachian Trail self-supported, it didn’t take me long to figure out that assumption would be wrong. So, what I chose to do instead was write everything down the old fashioned way. I do have to admit that got to be a chore when I had put in big miles that day and found myself cooking dinner at 10pm, and I did slack off once it was made apparent to me I would have to get off and not complete the trek, but I managed to record a good amount of what happened to me while I was out.
So, the next few posts will be edited versions of this trip, hopefully in some sort of order, but I’m not promising that will be the case 100% of the time. Anyway, enjoy the lessons, stories, legends and assumptions.
This was one hell of a trip either way, and to have been able to complete 1,121 miles in 60 days was still a feat and a half. I’m so lucky I got the opportunity to try my hand at suffering. I plan on doing this again next year, and hopefully that attempt will prove to be successful. We shall see.
