I took last week off to hang out with friends, old and new… Back on trail again, but I’ve lost track of days. I’ll have to go back and figure it out. Let’s call this day one after holiday lol… A vacation from my vacation.#appalachiantrail #at #getoutside #takeahike

Halfway to Katahdin! FINALLY 💪💕 #at #appalachiantrail #getoutside #takeahike

It’s important to recognize self imposed limitations, and remain flexible to your needs as those needs arise. Easier to say than to do, and so nice to learn these lessons on trail. 💕 #at #appalachiantrail #getoutside #takeahike

Down up and down and up and down and up and down and up and down 😂 #at #appalachiantrail #getoutside #takeahike

I learned why the roller coaster is called the roller coaster, and I hit 1000 miles… I’d say that’s good for a day of hiking 😊 #at #appalachiantrail #getoutside #takeahike

Day 77. Had to say goodbye to the Shenandoah’s today. I really enjoyed my travels through this length of the AT. Special place and one of my favorite so far on the trail… Despite the heat exhaustion lol. 💕 #at #appalachiantrail #getoutside #takeahike

Day 76. Today was one of those days where everything kind of fell in place I grab on today’s like this and moments on days like this as sort of a backstop against those times when the trail is not treating me quite as kindly, it helps to keep the faith.💕 ##at##appalachiantrail##takeahike##getoutside

Got a nice relaxing day in today… Kind of a Nero midsection on trail. Got me some brussels sprouts, an offer to learn euchre, and nice lounge chairs. Sometimes you just have to break with norms and do what feels right 😏 #at #appalachiantrail #takeahike #getoutside

Take the gentlest most musical southern accent and give it mountain form and youve got the Shennies 💕 #at #appalachiantrail #takeahike #getoutside

It was hot, hot hot! Made the day all it could be for sure! Where is winter again? ##at##appalachiantrail##takeahike##getoutside

Was feeling really good coming into town, but once here all my body wants to do is collapse! Looking forward to getting into the Shenandoah mountains, but first some much-needed R&R #at #appalachiantrail #takeahike #getoutside

Special points of contemplation, and a reminder that what starts a grind can turn into a joyous proof that yes I am getting stronger 💪 #at #appalachiantrail #takeahike #getoutside
