Hiked with cousin Terry today, which was awesome.  We haven't hiked together since doing high points in AZ, NM, & TX. He is a strong hiker a fun. I needed his friendship to help my lonely feelings without Trouble. We got started at 9 AM after a big fried potatoes breakfast, on a very hot humid 90 degree day, and still did 16 miles. Met up with Hellava. Hansel and Gretel, Fumbles, Wild Card, and Two Tone.

Terry hurt his knee late yesterday and suffered badly today. Since his wife Nancy, was available, we called for an evac, and Nancy was able to meet us at a cross road. Terry got a ride and I was able to slack pack over several of the "Roller Coasters".  Then Terry and Nancy picked me up at Bear's Den and I joined them at Hotel and dinner.Met Detour, who joined me slack packing to Bear's Den.Crossed 1,000 miles today!Hope Terry's knee heals and he'll be able to join me later in the hike.

Terry drove me to the Bear Den Hostel so I could slack pack again. Worked out great. Covered most of the Roller Coster today. I think things will be a bit flatter for a few miles now.  I shouted from the highest point on the trail in West Virginia. It was a beautiful vista. I read over 160 names of those battling Cancer. Sadly, Terry's knee is not much better so he enjoyed sight seeing with Nancy. They were awesome and took exceptional care of me! Hope to hike with Terry again soon.So tomorrow I hike allow again, and I'll move into Maryland.

New milage record on a eazy trail day, 30.3 miles, and I didn't even try hard. Could have done the 4 state challenge if I had a mind to. It was only a few more miles with a head lamp hike. Hiked from 6 am to dark at 9 PM, but took many breaks and talked a lot of day or weekend hikers.Went past the "original" Washington Monument. If course I hiked "alone" again. Best defense is an offense, so I hike to beat the loneliness. Climb on!

Wet morning, so started late, but paid off by getting to hike with Firefly Turd Ferguson- and Shark Tooth.  I had hiked week one with Firefly back in Georgia.  Now she hikes very fast.  Hard for me to keep up, seriously.  Turd is a retired Army Major, at age 44. Shark Tooth is a 28 year old who also hikes very fast. Fun group.At lunch we were joined by The Wander Women! Three famous women. ages 62, 62, and 58, who get it done! They are rock stars Also saw Solar, who I had met many times before. Great to meet old friends again.

Probably the wettest ever, while out side a shower.  It rained hard from just as I woke up till I got a ride from the trailhead to the hotel.  I couldn't even use my phone! So wet the swipe didn't work. A car pulled over at the trailhead lot, just as I got there. I approached and asked if this was the road to the hotel.  It was and he gave me a ride!  Got hot shower, laundry, resupply at Walmart, and dinner at Chili's! Tuxedo motel is not 5 star, but friendly and reasonably priced, compared to everything nearby. Only problem is that more rain expected for a couple of days. Terrain remains very difficult to hike when rocks are wet, slippery, and mud is everywhere. Slow going.Those of you who know me, know I am Climbing for Cancer and trying to raise awareness for preveting Cancer and fund raising for American Cancer Society, with our Relay for Life team.

Finished the White Mountains and nearoed back to Gorham to the Barn Hostel. Again camping in backyard. The Whites are milage killers, as I was averaging 19 miles, per hiking day, but only 11 miles per day since entering the Whites nine days ago. Still I loved everything about them. The views, the up and down climbs, the Huts, the trail magic, the trail friends made them special.  They were a special challenge and I may never have another opportunity to see them from this perspective. Oh, and less then 300 miles now to Katahdin!
