We have made it into N.C. and well past the 100 mile mark! It feels great! We have seen many great views. Also we have met some really great people as well! We are still hiking with Ben and Matt from Arizona, Pete got a trail name and so did Matt. So Pete's new trail name is.....Can-Opener and Matt's is Kool-Aid. I got mine because I ripped open my blisters with a can-opener...and when they found out why I was yelling...well I got the name. Matt got his at the end of a really rough day, it was raining all day and spirits were down. To make things worse for him, his Kool-Aid (mixed in a bottle) was not shut all the way, so it leaked all over his gear....And thus Kool-Aid was born. Here is a pictures of the 2 brothers below. Ben is on the left and Kool-Aid on the right.
Well thats all for now! It's another hot day here, and it's time to get some food! Miss you all!
Can-Opener and Mike!
Can-Opener & Kool-Aid,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing Georgia. Enjoy what's up ahead! Take care of the blisters.
Pete and Mike - Congrats on completing 100+miles. The views bring back lots of fond memories for us. Great trail names. How are the blisters, Pete? FYI, Pocket was diagnosed with a nasty immune disorder. Luckily, he is responding well to treatment and is back to normal except for his R hind leg which just dangles lifelessly. To date, you and I have the distinction of being the only two victims of his urinary incontinence. Enjoy the singular experience of hiking the AT. Marsha (and Bill) Ernst
