AT Journal


Jen and I have been reading the journal of our AT hike day by day as it happened two years ago. Every day was an awesome experience. Of course reading it in my easy chair I don't feel the knee pain. By now I was existing on 3200 mg of Ibuprophen per day. That is maximum dose, but I knew I would not be smart to keep it up for another 4 or 5 months.

That isn't what I wanted to blog. I wanted to write down the awesome experience we had. We had opportunity to enjoy life, one another, new friends, and develop a new kind of relationship with the Lord. The mind is an incredible thing, and as you hike, hour after hour, day after day, you can spend a lot of time in prayer and meditation.

We are aproaching Virginia in the Journal. 150 miles from our drop out place. How you can be so thrilled and so sad reading a journal you wrote only two years ago is beyond me.
