Conversation between two hikers on the way into Glencliff, NH at the end of two 20+ mile days:
me: "I think my feet are starting to revolt"
wookie: "My whole body's revolting"
I laughed for about 5 minutes, either from delirium or actual funniness, I'm still not sure which. We then made it to the hostel, and promptly shared a 1/2 gallon of moose tracks ice cream, which makes everything better :)
The above anecdote seems to epitomize my journey thus far- everything hurts, then you get to camp, hang out with awesome people and eat something- it always makes you feel better no matter how crappy things are.
We (CC, Freefall, Circ, and our new addition: Uncle Kevin) are currently in Caratunk, Me. We will be in Monson on Friday night for a hiker feed sponsored by whiteblaze.net-check out their site!
We reached the 2,000 mile marker yesterday, it's spray-painted in the middle of a road- so much for not playing in traffic. We've made it through the whites, the Mahoosics- which contain the alleged hardest mile on the trail (Mahoosic Notch only took about 1.5 hours to get through), and just finished up the Bigelows. The only thing to do now is not break myself from here til the end. I've made it this far, right? Then it's home to figure out the rest of my life...?
Also, I ate 12 pancakes for breakfast this morning, can't wait for the sedentary life again so eating won't be such a chore- good thing they were delicious.
