After sitting at the Dear Head Inn bar, chowing down on a steak, sippingand a good bootle of wine and listening to a live jazz band (hardships of the trail), I got a good nights rest and continue to push forward, at mile 1,285 with less than 900 to go. News of the trail is that the Mosquitos are as thick as the humid air in NJ. Will soon find out.
Happy to be out of PA but realize it may not get fun again until New England. Spirits are ok to good. Feel like this is the third quarter(always the toughest in a race)of a long race. Need to get to 550 miles to go and will feel much better.
Thanks everyone for encouraging words...helps a lot, especially now.
Don ~ Can't believe how far you are along your AT adventure ~ for anyone who has ever hiked a mountain or camped in the woods, your posts evoke all kinds of sensory memories. Hope you have sufficient fly dope to make you repulsive to the NJ mosquito population. Gee, I can't help observing that you're taking on a resemblance to Levon Helm....
