3/25

Last night, we were hit by a crazy thunderstorm. There were around 20ish of us in a little tent city, and we really staked down our tents. The wind was absolutely brutal. The rain was pelting for a couple hours starting around 4:00am. I was genuinely worried about my tent stakes coming up for a while. I piled rocks on top of them, but once it started to die down around 5:30am I was able to sleep for a little bit longer. 

Today was an easy day, just 8 miles to get to the next shelter. Most of us are staying in the hostel either Sunday or Monday night. Jules and I have got a big day tomorrow with 15 miles. 

Today was a pretty average day, still having a blast, but we took it easy, stretched out a lot. Got to the shelter around 4:00pm and hung out with everybody for a while. Met 3 sisters from Maine who are hiking the AT together which was pretty cool. Maybe Megan and Emily would do it with me one day. 

Trail name might be BNC, for Ball n Cup, cause of my kendama. A lot of people tried it out tonight and I think that name is going to stick. 

Tomorrow will be a big day, waking up earlier than usual to try and get some big boy miles in. 

See ya lovelies ;)

Travel day Drive down to the airport with Mom, Dad and Shannon, jealous that they were getting donuts and hanging with Miguel after.  Plane got delayed for some reason beyond my comprehension, gave me plenty of time to charge my devices and watch one of the best movies of all time  Sat across the aisle from a really cute baby, not as cute as Miguel obviously Had myself a Pepsi (JetBlue doesn't do coke apparently ...) And bacardi, and slept as well as the baby next to me.  Amanda from the Grateful hiker picked me up where she drove me and a Canadian to the start of the AT. We listened to a quick 10 minute leave no trace talk, officially registered and learned how to properly throw our bear bag.  Spent the rest of the night chatting around the campfire with "Karma" somebody who has hiked  the AT 4 times before. Got some great advice, are some ramen, brushed my teeth and settled in for the night.  Cheers to the r...

Probably the best day on trail Woke up at 3:30 this morning to catch the sunrise on McAfee Knob and it did not disappoint, definitely my favorite view and sunrise of the trail Had some more miles to get into town, had a killer pulled pork salad. Last resupply on trail. Ran into some day hikers, one of them had a son who hiked the trail so she gave me an oatmeal cookie, didn't remember to take a picture till the last bite.  To top it all off, when we left town, we also hit 1/3rd of the way to Katahdin,  Had no idea that I would be able to make it this far, but definitely surprised and happy that I did Until tomorrow 🤙  See ya lovelies
