Day 100, June 9, 2014 WOWWIE 100 days. It has been more of a roller coaster ride then I expected for sure. Before I reminisce and pontificate let me first talk about today. Last night we got some rain. I wondered if Coop was glad for the tent. Who knows? When I woke up I opened the tent fly to a beautiful scene of green and fog. I hope my picture captures how beautiful it was. The hiking itself was mostly uneventful. Pennsylvania has had us walking mostly in state game lands on ridge lines. I think Pennsylvania takes pride in their rocky trails and even in sections that could easily be cleaned up I suspect they throw more rocks onto the trail. For reals. I am almost done with Pennsylvania so I think I can now speak about the truth about rocks and my personal opinion. THEY ARE NOT THAT BAD!!! Prior to walking the trail one would be lead to believe that hikers breakdown and start crying along the trail. There are two, maybe three, bad rocky days. But even then its not that bad that you will cry lol!! You just go a little slower. The scrambles are all a blast. After Palmerton is really the worst. Water is also a consideration. If you are a big drinker, or its hot, pay close attention to water sources. I had neither issue to contend with so it was no big deal. Cooper is doing great. He has been eating like a min-pig (Lanny made that up fyi) since the triumphant return and already has his potbelly back. Cheese it was the first to notice We went through a little squirrel community today and he was crazed and water skiing. I just looked at him, grinned and said yep your leash bound my little guy! So someone had asked on Trail Journals the following:"I'm so happy you found Coop. I was just wondering if you would get him off the trail now. You might not get simpathy again if he gets lose again.". I think this is a legitimate question and legitimate statement and I would like to address both. Yes Coop is staying on the trail with me. I believe that we were meant to be together (yes Woody I'm a believer) on this crazy little blue planet. TLM has seen, done, and been loved by many in his seven years. Arguably more then some of us humans. I had a friend who pointed out that we all knew the inherent dangers of the trail and to Coop specifically but was glad he is with me. I concur. We take risks when we take are kids to Disneyland, our dogs to the dog park. For that matter every time we get in a car. Yet we still do it. I will stress and worry more now but maybe that is a good thing. To that statement about not getting sympathy should he run off again. I suspect if he got Lyme disease, or broke his leg or fell of a cliff - some how I would be the bad guy. So let's start here..I am not posting these journals for sympathy, adoration or ass chewings. I am actually much more private then these posting would attest too. I prefer to post only stuff that is riddled with rainbows, bunny rabbits and skittles. So why then? 1. I did not initially plan on posting to FB. Just Trail Journals. But the truth is FB is way easier. That is way first Peter and then Kathy transcribed for me. (Thank you both, and I am sorry for the sad stuff my friend) Again I digress. I wanted to do this because of how much the journals I read over the years meant to me. I learned so much. About gear, food, shoes, cool places. etc....I wanted to pay it forward. 2. For my friends and family. I didn't even really know about the AT until 2010. I find it so interesting and thought that a few others might also. This has proved true beyond my wildest dreams. I try to not share just the trail but my feeling, and the immense history of this famous footpath. I do my best. 3. For me. I am not a journaler by nature. It is not always easy to do these daily updates. It was especially hard when it was so very cold. Or on days when I am tired. But I knew and know I wouldn't remember if I didn't. As an example, just today the Shaman's we talking about the hoar frost. I had so forgotten about that! Do you know how rare that is to see? There are a million memories in my rantings. So, with all that said, do you think I want to post the hard, embarrassing, or hurtful stuff? NO WAY!! But like Leslie said this is a metaphor for life. And I can not with a good conscience post only the good. There are bad days out here. But back to the 100 days. Most of those days have been fantabulous!!!!! I am not happy the Radioman left me. I am not happy Coop tried to leave me but here are a few of the things over the last 100 days I am happy about: 1. That Lanny and Michele hosted the RM. 2. That Kelly and James hosted RM and me and are now watching my big truck and driving it. 3. That Thom, the Rat Bastard, drove us to the trail. 4. That we met Dorito and UG. 5. That we ate at the Leap Frog Cafe. 6. That Mr. Blue sky came into my life and he finished the trail. 7. The I saw hoar frost. 8. That I climbed Albert, Blood, Priest, Hump, Little Hump, Sassafrass and countless other cool peaks. 9. That I met all the cool other hikers (won't name them for fear of forgetting someone) 10. Spending the time with Coach and Ms. Coach. They went way way way out of there way to make me feel special. 11. To Woody and Kim, also going way way way out of thier way, probably on the day I need a familiar face more than any. And then fetched me again and helped with Coop. Let me see old friends. Took care of Pooh. And then Drove me back to trail. And then took Dinosaur under your wing. 12. For Danny going way way out of his way and then showering love on a whole crew of trail rats and making the 1000 mile mark EPIC!!! 13. Carrie. Who went way way way out of her way and brought Cafe Rio To boot!!!!!!! And then braced a fellow hiker and then came and hike 18 miles of a whacky AT day with me!!! 14. For Leslie and Doug who went way way out of thier way and hosted the best picnic EVER!! Complete with ice creme and music!! 15. Dragon's Tooth, McAfee Knob. 16. To Lanny, Michele, mom and papa, Pat, Radiomans family, Dianne and Dwayne, Jeanne, Sharon, and dear goodness I hope I am not forgetting anyone - that hooked us with care packages. 18. And Rex and his Hottie Hiker Song and Ed and Jeannine and Gerald egging him on. VIVACIOUS! 19. And MrBenson and dogdad. The AT is not just a physical journey. It is a social and emotional journey.

Then a climb up out of Palmerton. It was fairly steep with a good bit of rock scrambling. But boy was it worth the climb. And as always the scrambles were fun and exciting. After reaching the top the rest of the day was fairly flat. But there were a few more boulder fields. We also entered the Palmerton Zinc Super Fund Site. They have been reintroduction vegetation for the last ten years. I thought it was looking pretty good. I took a couple of pictures. But if you are interested there are before pictures on the internet when it was barren. The other thing that was thriving in the Superfund site was tics!!! Raman Shaman and Cheese It said they took an 1 1/2 and picked over a 100 tics of Sheila. Coop had a butt load too. But he is easier to operate on. They are still picking tics of Sheila as I type this. I only found one tic on me. Just behind my ear. I took Coop and me 4 hours to do just about 5 miles!! The rest of the day we just had the little ones that are like an obstacle course. Water was also a big consideration this day. There was only 1 water source between the two shelters (almost 17miles) and the guide book says emergency only high metallic content. So we all had a full compliment of watee on our backs. Tomorrow looks like a little more of the same. all and all another great day of hiking. I meet a nice man who thru hiked in 1983 (also did the PCT in 88) and another gentleman who was looking at possible AT reroutes. Both fellas said the Whites in NH was there favorite place on the AT and both brought up the JMT and said I should hike it. The later guy also said the good thing about going NOBO was that the AT saves the best for last. Oh here is one last thing. Cheese It was walking the last couple miles alone and said she got freakes out because Sheila keep looking behind them like someone was there. No way! Cooper was doing the same thing and for about a mile. We still don't know why both dogs did this at the same point and for about the same distance. Aliens? Pennsylvania Rocks!!!

Three adults and TWO dogs made nothern progess on the Appalachian Trail and nothing weird happened!! I started the day by going across the street where there was once again a Dunkin Donut and got Cheese It, Raman and I a beloved iced mocha! Dad then took us to the store where we got dog food and cosmic brownies. Then we were back on the AT at PA 309. ***Dad was really great in helping us get around. I recommend you give him a call if you need any shuttling around Hamburg, PA and see if he's available at 1 610-202-2686*** I am glad we made this a shorter day for two reasons. Coop is still a little tired and some of the sections were very rocky so we were a little slower. The two highlights of the day were knives edge and bear rocks. Knives edge was a huge rock formation with huge tilted slabs that you walked on. It was very cool. Bear Rocks afforded us a Pennsylvania 360 degree view! It was also a fun rock scramble to the top. Coop met some guy at the top and they were quickly fast friends!! We got into camp and Coop immediately jumped on my pack to rest. I got him fed and watered. As he ate I set up our tent. When the bed was made he went right in and layed down. He ate a lot and is doing very well. He only got on a squirrel scent once today but was securely attached to me. Had a nice evening in Camp with Cheese It and Raman Shaman. We, like Coop, are tired too and glad for the shorter day. Tomorrow should find the whole lot of us much more rested.

Again we had scowered the woods and I was convinced Coop was not in the vicinity. Per yesterday we all concured TLM got disoriented and would head down to civilization. It was very very early when I heard stiring from the Shamans tent, 0530. They like me are not early risers. I told Cheese Its later that day I think we all moved early so we would not have to put off the inevitable, that being leaving the area where Coop was last seen. Most people know min pins are arrogant and Houdini's. What they don't know is they are notorious cowards and only brave when on the leash or Momma is near. I told the Cheese Its it might be a couple more days before he is hungry enough to leave the woods and beg. Everyone, all 9 hikers and others, yelled for Coop over the next few miles. And we got the Allentown Shelter again. It was a dejavu hike. I called State Game Lands to let them know about Coop and Raman called more vets. We came out on that paved road again. But turned left first to a restaurant in view. I was able to treat the search party to a burger and also upgrade Coops microchip, thanks Michelle B. for your help. We headed out again. When I left the paved road this time I did not feel any angst. He was not on that mountain. Now it was up to him. We walked about 2 miles and just prior to starting a climb up a rock obstacle my phone rang. I looked at it, did not recognize the number and did not want to be optimistic. Raman and Cheese also froze and looked back in anticipation. "Hello", I say. "Hi, my name is Josh, a dog named Cooper showed up in my garage" I replied, "are you sh#tting me!!! Is he ok". I am not sure what was said after that, but remember leaning over and tears and emotion taking over. I remember Cheese It and Raman rubbing my back. I focused. Josh asked where I was from. I said Wyoming. He paused and said he wasn't sure how to get Coop back to Wyoming. I laughed. "No I am in PA." Anyway we set up a reoudevous point back at the restaurant. I asked Raman to go ahead as he's the fastest and we did not want to miss the arrival. The hike back to the road was tough. I felt like the weight of the world was lifted off me. I felt sick to my stomach. I had a headache. I was exhausted. At each mini breakdown Cheese Its hugged me. Oh man! I thought, even before the reunion, Coop hasn't learned crap. Have I? I have told the "Coop on the loose story" one to many times. I never want to tell this story again. I feel like the girl who cries wolf. It is scary and embarrassing. Cheese It and I walk in just as Josh and his family arrive. Coop ran to me and then ran the other way looking for food or squirrels. We waited to get the story from Josh. Per Josh, he works nights. His young daughter, maybe 11, asks him to open the garage door for her friend who is coming over. He goes to his glass door that leads to the garage and Coop is staring at him!!! I guess he likes garages too So Coop did what we thought. Hiked off the mountain. But hiked 6 or 7 miles in the valley. Josh said behind his house is a bog!! Then Josh said is it ok that we fed him two hot dogs! LOL!! Of course I said! And thought of Rex!!! Well, there was no way Coop was hiking. He was like a doggie zombie. So Raman Shaman did his usual magic and worked out a plan. He really needs to use these skills in whatever career he choose. Trail Dad ended up shuttling us to Allentown, PA. We ate, will get dog food for both dogs and cosmic brownies!!! Dad is staying with us and will take us back to the trail in the am. I really like him. Oh, so yes "we are living here in Allentown" Ms. Bell I might have a song here? What an AWESOME day. Again thank you everyone for prayers or vibs or energy or searching. It worked. Coop is safe and I hope I know his boundaries. So, want to keep it real? 99.9 percent of the posts commenting on TJ or FB have been all positive. I know a few of you want to chastise me for this loss of Cooper, especially those who are dealing with round 3, and rightfully so. I concur. I feel like a nitwit and am emotionally exhausted. I have had only had two anonymous posts that were very harsh, both on the Trail Journals guest book. And I want to share one with you, but of course before I do I have to pontifiate. I love Howard Stern. He's actually a good guy and loves animals and his wife and his cubs. He also likes to dig on people. One of these peoples was Lady Gaga. Well, finally she has the balls to come on his show. Before she showed up her "little monsters" are tweeting and FBing Howard horrible things, to include the C Word and threats. She comes on and it was incredible. I didn't know crap about her but after the interview I was a convert and Little Monster. She sang a song with just a piano and it brought me to tears. But I digress. Lady Gaga preaches anti bullying and her monsters were bullying Howard via the internet. She concured. The summary of thier discussion was that the internet makes it easy to say horrible crap anonymously. What I am about to post is strangely bizzare because it mentions incidents from the first two weeks of the hike. But the most offensive comment is from Trail Journals and what I think was derogatory towards people with autism: "Signed by Idaho on 6/6/14 8:40 PM ---------------------- I hope Coop makes it to safety and finds a good home. Per your journal, one day on the trail he ate 4 hot dogs. Another day he ate sausage grease. He also ate some "gourmet" canned dog food. One night he was shivering - but according to you - he was "faking it". Several journal entries comment on his vomiting. I pray you never find him, and someone more caring, does. He's freaking cute. If I didn't live in Idaho, I'd come out there and find him. Love to Coop and hoping he finds a better life. I'm also praying for you. Are you autistic?" It is a hurtful comment and I am thankful that most people have not been so mean. Cheese It and Ramen have told me to ignore people's harsh words and they know how good Cooper has it out here, but of course those that know me know that is easier said then done. In closing I tried to go thru every FB comment over the last few days and read each of them and "liked" them. And was filled with humility as I read them and wished Coop was not a narcissistic ass and could feel the love.
