It's Good To Be Back

It feels great to be back on trail and back with my trail family. I haven't missed a beat. Although my feet are screaming at me. All we have been walking on are literally piles of rocks. 

 

 

 

Some piles larger than others. 

Despite the pain and struggle we continue to smile and find enjoyment in the little moments. 

 

The views,

 

the wildlife,

 

the free food, 

 

and the company. 

All has been well. We have gone into a few towns for various reasons (resupplies, hostels, just escaping the heat) and it's always different and interesting. 

 A hitch into town got us a ride in the back of a small dump truck.... That was previously filled with horse crap and shavings. Bear (the little dog in the bottom of the picture) was not thrilled about this. 

 

A hostel in Palmerton, PA in the garage behind a diner. 

 

Goofing around in Delaware Water Gap.

 

And the latest treat was staying in a hotel for a night to rest feet and get out of the heat. The air conditioning felt great!

Now it's back into the blistering sun and soon to be stormy skies. But, at least we're heading into NJ and NY.
