3 months down

I wanted to take this three months as a recognition to the support I’ve received. Photos are in no particular order and no photo means I haven’t taken one with you on the trail.

• Lilly has been my rock and support on this. The day I was ready to quit, she told me I wasn’t allowed to. It’s been tough being away but she knows how important this is for me
• Sharktooth – the first trail partner I had. She’s a hoot to be around and an outstanding hiker. I miss her company on the trail. She met me at my lowest and took me into her tramily keeping me on the trail.
• Turtle also was part of that decision and has given me a lot of knowledge to stop caring about civilization and appreciate the hike
• Coyote helped me change my mentality from hating hiking to making hiking the best part of my day
• Turd is a rock for me. I look up to him so much. The way he talks about his kids has changed my thoughts on a family. He’s someone I truly look up to.
• Nash, Chipper, Rosie, PYT, Rocket, Aspen – this group was with us for a long time. We didn’t hike together but we saw them at nearly every stop. Great group of people.
• Reader – carried 5 pairs of socks and when mine had a hole, he gave me a pair of darn tough socks.
• Gummy bear and Air Bud – my new hiking buddies. Keeping me social on the trail post wedding.
• Cosmo, Shaggy, Starboi, Little Blade, Professor Plum, Pukey – an amazing group I hung out with for a little over a week when I got back on trail. Such a great group.
• Skillet helped me learn to appreciate the sun sets.
• Tiffany and company – tons of fun. Keeps the crowd happy. Wish I knew him more.
• Rocket, Peanut, Pick Me Up, Peetree, Screaming Goat, Shotgun – new group that I’ve really enjoyed their company.
• All the trail angels. I wish I could remember everyone’s name. You make the trail bearable. It seems that the timing is perfect. Not every bad day but it seems that every time I need a pick me up, yall have been there. This includes hitches.
• Will – you drove me to amicalola, will drive me from Maine, and have been an overall support. Thank you.
• Family and friends following along. Each comment is read and loved. I appreciate all of the support!
• Joe- thank you for your support. You’ve given advice and made sure I’m getting through.
• Anyone I missed… I’m so sorry. This is mainly by memory…

I decided that the album today is dedicated to pictures of those addressed.
