Well, my hike on the AT was cut short by a knee problem. Had the first DR’s visit this afternoon and will see the specialist tomorrow morning. Hopefully nothing too serious.
The bottom of the iPhone screen became insensitive to touch, so I was unable to post anything from the trail or resopnd to any comments. Thanks for the comments!
I’ll work on posting the day-by-day of what happened.
Btw, Bird is still on the trail.
Plan for today: Leave work around 4 (hopefully). Pick up car at shop. Take short nap. Pack car. Drive to Parents’ home in Maryland.
Tomorrow I will leave MD by 8 and arrive at the Hiker Hostel in Dahlonega, GA by 10pm (driving). I’ll spend the night there and in the morning get a ride to the trail head at Springer Mt. The hostel will let me leave my car there while I hike.
Two weeks later, I hope to arrive at Fontana Dam, NC and get a ride back to Dahlonega to pick up the car. Depending on the time, I will either drive straight to NYC, or stop by my parents’ place for dinner.
It’s that two weeks in between that is most uncertain.
Tomorrow I head down to Georgia to start my hike of the first section of the Appalachian Trail. If all goes as planned (it won’t) I will post some updates to this blog with my iPhone.
I will try to post some initial thoughts and plans here before I go. Register if you like.
