D70, M1007 - One Thousand

Destination: 
Date: Sat, 21 May


That's such a BIG number... I still remember the feeling I had just getting to 100!

Hey Dawn... my first night back on the trail, I'm camping at mile 007 in honor of you Big Sis 😄

No others pix today. Too busy tackling the famous AT Roller Coaster. Up and down for 10 miles over 8 hills about 500ft each... and VERY rocky.

Finally going to bed at 10p after a long, hard day back on the trail after staying with my good friends Ron and Puah.

The Fickleys - Super Zero Day Hosts

Image
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.

I even made everyone waffles this morning. ... using eggs from their chickens!
