Mail Magic

We are at mile 980.6 and I can confirm 2 things about PA. There are rocks and snakes (poisonous ones). I’ll just apologize in advance to our PA friends because I don’t think we’ll have nice things to say about the state when we complete it. We are not trying to be haters of PA…

Onto Rocksylvania

We spent 3 wonderful zeros at my parents’ … Saw lots of friends and took care of all our bizness. Of course, the last 3 days were gorgeous … In the 70s, low humidity. Today, torrential downpouring. Thank you Mother Nature. Anywho, we are hitting the trail. I am not excited at all to hike…

Small Update and Next Maildrop

Hello from mile 791! We are almost done with NY and I will do an update then, but for now, just a quick note. We are currently enjoying the overnight hospitality of my college friend, Shadow/Christine. Got to love these friends/family who live near the trail! Yeaterday, we stopped in Fort Montgomery, NY, to pick…

Mile 722.6 – Kent, CT

Today, we got trail magic. This time, though, it wasn’t from a stranger, but from our family! My sister QuickQuestion, brother-in-law Yankee, nephew Bones and niece Curly Locks picked us (including Fire Marshall – we have reunited!) up from the trail in Kent and took us home to shower, launder and eat home-cooked goods. It…

Mail Drop Update

Remember that whole list I put together for mail drops? Please disregard. Well, for now. Right now, we are resupplying more so in towns and not relying on the post office. We do LOVE packages and note from y’all, but right now we are just moving too quick to keep the dates updated. We know…

Two states down!!

What an awesome ZERO day. We can’t thank our host and hostess Second Nature and Grateful enough. They were awesome and took very good care of us! Checking another state off the list feels so good. 160 miles, 13 days! Like I said, NH was very good to us and we enjoyed it immensely. The…

Mile 442.3 – Days 36-38

Hello from Hanover, NH! This trail town is right on the border of Vermont, so that means we (us & Fire Marshall) have officially finished NH! We hiked about 12 miles today and got in around lunch … Thru hikers get a free slice of pizza at Ramuto’s, a free Snickers bar at The Mountain…

Mile 398.5 – Days 27-35

Hello from Glencliff, NH! I know it’s been awhile and you are all awaiting an update! We have been without services for most of our NH hike. But, today we took a nero at a hiker hostel. And once again, this town has no cell service, but has wireless Internet. All I really wanted was…

MAINE – 1 state down, 13 to go!

So we’ve finished Maine! It was exactly 281.4 miles, the second longest state on the trail. I wouldn’t exactly call ME easy, but the challenges were rewarded with incredible beauty, much of it in remote wilderness. Here’s a recap of Maine …24 days11 nights slept in a tent8 nights slept in a lean-to shelter 5…

Mile 297.9 – Days 23-26

Hello from Gorham, NH, where we are enjoying yet another wonderful hiker hostel! We have finished Maine!!! It feels so good to have one state under our belt. A real mental boost for sure. But, Maine did not let us get out without a few more bumps and bruises … Here’s a recap of the…
