Adventure

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power" Alan Cohen

Back on the trail

Mike iced and nursed his ankle for a couple days and took off this morning again with new hiking poles (the old ones buckled when he fell) and a taped ankle.  He did the first 5 miles in 4 hours, a couple of MAJOR uphills in cold weather.  The top of the mountains were blanketed in fog.

He culled his pack while recuperating to get rid of some weight.  He's carrying about 35 to 45 lbs.  Every little bit helps when it's just your two feet.

He got as far as Neels Woody Gap today, another 10 miles down the trail.  The Hiker Hostel picks up hikers from there so he'll spend another night with them to rest his ankle more.  Tomorrow he'll be back on the trail and spend the night out there for a few days.

I'm getting ready for Easter dinner with family and guess what...the Easter Bunny left some things here already!
