Outdoor enthusiast. Hiking for the challenge, the thrill, the adventure. Looking to figure it all out. This is really just a personal journey, but thought some people would want to get involved and this is a good way to give back. I figured ... more

- Mile 1780 - Jul 29th, 2015

New Hampshire
Right where I need to be. Miles are no longer important. All the pieces are in place. I can limp in and still make it. Nothing can stop me. I'll have my trophy soon. Time to enjoy every precious moment.
I'll be in Wentworth, NH tomorrow.
I am about to have a close friend join me for the entryway to the White Mountains. I'll give her a ten mile day, then we'll climb Mt. Moosilauke Saturday.
We'll see what she's made of....
This post is dedicated to pictures.
I am so incredibly excited to be here.
This trip is everything I ever wanted and more. It is THE BEST decision I have ever made. I can't say all my ideas always work out, but this one has been pure gold.
Thanks for coming along for the ride.

I am amazed by your journey! Your writing logs make for great reading...I see wonderful fodder for an article in OUTSIDE. I just read a stat: Each year, thousands of hikers attempt a thru-hike; only about one in four make it all the way. I totally believe, heart and soul, that you will make it...and write about it later. Enjoy your adventure! Erica and the Zoo
