Finished the AT

The last time I posted was to recount my desire to quit the trail. It's time I updated my page with the date of our Mt. Katahdin summit: 22 September 2016.


As soon as we reached the top we met up with a guy who offered to drive us to his farm on the coast for a night in a bed and a hot breakfast in the morning (with syrup he collected from his own trees). The following morning we set off hitch hiking down the coast to NYC.


After a few days Couch Surfing we took a train to Jersey and set of with our thumbs out. The next weeks were spread out between playing video games at J-man's mother's apartment, watching all 6 seasons of Game of Thrones, and visiting Dentists and Doctors in DC (where we both have medicaid).

Today I write to you from the other side. The other side of 6 seasons of Game of Thrones... And the other side of the election (Trump?? Really? I voted Bernie in the primaries!). From the other side of J-man at a small table in a truck stop, somewhere, Tennessee. Have I changed? Have you guys all changed? Or do we just convince ourselves that we are, that we will, be different. I don't feel different. I feel lost. But with a few more stories to tell.
