New Sleeping Bag

I received my new GoLite sleeping bag today! It's the three-season Z10, a 10 degree down bag for my next trip.

Oh yeah, hi again.

Here I am at the end of the Appalachian Trail. I hiked Southbound from Mt Katahdin Maine to Springer Georgia in 88 days -- August 21 to November 17.  I can honestly say I'm glad it's over.  I do have more hiking plans at the moment, but they are not certain yet.

I'm Still Alive

So 7 years between posts is quite a while. I have changed quite a bit since them, but in most ways (to quote Everlast) "I'm the same motherfucker that I ever was." I suppose my interests have changed quite a bit. I no longer have any pets, no longer play soccer, and no longer have a significant other. I've walked across the country six times -- that sounds pretty ridiculous even to me -- and pretty much lost touch with everyone from my old life, other than the occasional Facebook message. Is there much else to say? Probably. But it a lot of ways this has been a lost decade for me.  It feels like time to move on with my life, but I honestly don't really know what that means. Or more likely, I do know what it means and don't want to accept it.

This is a pretty weird first post back, and there probably won't be a second.
