Hey everyone! We've been on the trail nine days, walked over a hundred miles now, and made it up to North Carolina in high spirits. We're doing fabulous and loving this life. We've been keeping journals on the trail, but we don't get to emails, or towns for that matter, too often, but we'll record our journal entries here when we can.
Life on the trail is truly wonderful. We're hiking about twelve to fifteen miles a day, our legs are turning rock solid, every meal is a pure, ravenous joy, and the days are long and meandering. I love it out here.
We're in Franklin, North Carolina right now -splendid town, full of wonderful, generous people. Multiple cars have pulled over to offer us a ride in town, and a really nice couple set up a tent by the trail to offer drinks and snacks and chairs for hikers as they pass by. Tomorrow we'll go back to the hiking life, but for today we've got a hot shower, clean clothes, bbq ribs, and a soft bed in store. This is the good life.

Hey you two - been thinking of you lots as I've been out on short adventures locally. I've longed to do our Pacific Crest Trail over here... you've really got me thinking about it... perhaps. Wishing you all the best - happy trails and all that. I'm really proud of you for doing this adventure! When you are finished, it would be fun to visit sometime. It has been too long. Love and hugs, - Jamie
