The Appalachian Trail is not just a hike. It is a journey, odessey, and an epic.
The amount of personal strength and growth that develops on the AT
can not be put into words.
I dig deep out here. I've found my strengths, weaknesses, new skills,
a clear mind and my soul.
I have not seen the documentary video about the AT
that was released in Germany. I have met many many Germans on the trail
and they all have the same thing to say,
"The American Wilderness is not an easy hike."
The people out here though are the nicest people ever to walk the
planet earth. Litterally, everyone will give you the shirt off of
their back. It is the people that get me through everyday.
I think often of home and everyone I have left. I miss them
all so bad. It is those thoughts of my loved ones that pulls me
through freezing rain and winds of 70mph on the side
of a 6000ft mountian.
Nature has a spirit about it that makes me fall in love.
I write in a journal everyday of all the beautiful things I see around me.
I can write all day and never catch the beauty that is out on the trail.
There are so many pages that I can not write them here
but at the end of my hike in 5 months I will post a
copy of the book for everyone to read.
To Find Peace, Climb a Mountian.
