Meet My Good Friend Terry

 


We hiked together in HS and ran our 1st marathon together, but haven't seen each other in over 40yrs!!! 

I spent the last 14 days killing myself on the trail to meet him at Fontana Dam so we can hike the Smokies together.

These next 4 days with Terry, are going to be the most memorable part of my AT journey and I thank God in advance for this once in a lifetime opportunity!

    Greg, on this St. Patrick's Day I pray this prayer attributed to Patrick, for you my brother.

    Christ be with me,
    Christ before me,
    Christ behind me,
    Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
    Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
    Christ in every eye that sees me,
    Christ in every ear that hears me.
    Amen.

    Thank you brother Patrick -- for your life. May we celebrate you well today.

The Fickleys - Super Zero Day Hosts

Meet the Fickley family... Thomas, Natalie and their 5 boys (ages 2-8) and baby girl! I don't even know how to begin sharing about the AMAZING generosity theses guys showed, but here goes... Several times, Thomas drove an hour on very steep roads to take me to and from Reids Gap. The first day, he literally rescued me after a 21 mile hike from hell.  He was incredibly flexible despite my being almost 3 hrs late. Natalie is a SUPERB cook!!! Her brothers had done the trail years ago, so she even knew to order me my own large pizza!  Thomas let me drink all his beer and grills a mean steak! The boys lavished me with praise for every magic trick... and you know how shy I am? They were so excited to show me all their Lego Star Wars projects. They have enough models to film the entire series! After a MUCH needed Zero Day, Thomas returned me to Reids Gap so I could slack pack the last 19 miles to Rockfish Gap where he then picked me up. The next morning (after consuming mass quantiti...

Zero Day at 4 Pines Hostel

Spent the entire day chilling with Yogi, Squirrelly and Forest Lore'ist (see D49 post). She had shoes too small but got new ones today! The 3 call themselves Fellowship of the Oak. Wish I had half their energy! Here we are with Sprocket, caretaker (and Den Mother) for 4 Pines Hostel. It's like a commune and was a great place to spend 3 nights. I even made everyone waffles this morning. ... using eggs from their chickens!
