I am finally posting from last weekend to say that Trail Days was awsome! It was wonderful to see how many hikers I have met the past two years who found my booth. I am especially greatful to the ones who bought my AT photos. These sales are helping to fund my thru hike for next year. I made lots of wonderful new friends and connections.

I finally got my hammock. I went with the Hennessy A-sim Hyperlite. This takes up half the space in my pack of my tent and is slightly lighter. I am getting back on the trail so I can’t wait to try it out. I hope that it holds up well.

I had to fly back home last week to help move. It was a big hassle and I am glad to have that behind me. Now I can get back to doing what I do best. I am hiking Roan Mountain tommorrow and hope that the Rhododendrons will be blooming. I saw some blooming in Damascus so I hope that I didn’t just miss them with all the heat we are having. I hope to get some more great pictures this week. Then I have to go clear back down to Blue Ridge, GA to exhibit on the weekend. TIme to head back to the trail.
