Hmmm what to say. I haven't posted in awhile because I haven't had great service or enough time to write everything down. Long story short. Seen some awesome sites...met a lot of people...will see and met many more. Spending more money then expected...but worth it. It's hard on the trail. I have wanted to quit...then I listen to music and think about things. Probably going to be doing some solo hiking for awhile. There's people I don't want to be around and some I want to be around. But we're all on different schedules and do different milage and have different goals. In Hot Springs, NC. Taking a zero tomorrow. Time to do my own thing for awhile. Felt good for the past to days because I wasn't restricted to where I can camp like I was in the Smokies...but what a great place the smokies is. Currently sitting at a bar at 10:43pm, full on a burger and fries. Someone paid for a beer and I have no idea who paid fir it..could have been a waitress or anyone. Just sitting here listening to the live music typing on my blog. So the last couple of weeks have been about the same. Got new shoes, non waterproof trail runners, but they dry fast. Also got some insoles and socks. Only had a couple blisters since the switch from boots. I'll also never hike without trekking poles again. Pack weight doesn't matter to much anymore...it changes all the time since I'm always eating and drinking water. Well I'm done for now. O.O u all later. :P I'm full but out of gas. Fast Back
