time to relax and plan out the next 10 days before Deb's arrival in D.C.; got some serious hiking to do before thenJeff at MRO adds his opinion to my foot woes. he reminds me of 'mountain man' from Duck Dynasty with his slow speech; found him to be quite helpful.a great place for Mexican and 2 Xs is 'Hey Joe's; look out for "Pixy"!during my time in the south, i do find the folks that i run into to be great; friendly, hospitable and willing to help in anyway is quite pleasant. yet with the number of times that i'm asked to repeat myself, i begin to believe that i am less than perfectly clear in my communication. it's almost like someone in the loop is ...

getting back on the trail seems to be more difficult than getting off. i'm not certain why, except the money is down in the valleys, as the path appears to be equally ...no pictures today. not because it's raining or foggy or dark, but just because. Ann and i agree that there is constant beauty all around. so much, in fact, (even on a day like today) that not much hiking would get done with a camera/phone as a priority. so I put it away, for a day.this trail has all kinds/types of hikers. an array can be made, i think, with me and the two guys i met today.i've spent the last half hour walking an entire circle only to be back at the same park, when i hear a voice from the schultz, "hey, are you a hiker? hang on a minute" to which i reply, "i'll have to because i'm lost". out comes a young and handsome guy who leads the way and quickly gets me/us on the correct path. he's a fast hiker, but slows (i believe) to have a conversation with me, an old dog. he started at Springer on January 1st!? turns out, as he stops for another cigarette, he's spent more time off than on the trail and plans more of the same as his priorities are booze, babes and bongs, and not necessarily in that order. as we start again up a long uphill, he asks if i want to lead for a while. that is the last i will see of him, probably forever. let's call him "flush".at Lost Mt. Shelter i run into a south bounder (i'll call him) "cc rider". about the same age as flush. rolled up in his bag, he says since 3:30, it's now 4:30, but looks to me that he's been there all day and may very well stay the next. then he gets up, has a cig. and starts conversing a little. he's dirty and unkept; i see a thick book by his stuff. i make us cups of coffee and he tells me of his day in the rain and wicked wind. it's what i'll hike tomorrow (and tomorrow i will respect him even more). he is from Tennessee, knows much about the trail and cares little about work, community or law. "you're gonna be done and at Springer soon", i say, "what are you going to do then?" cc doesn't hesitate and responds, "turn around and head to Maine"both flush and cc are doing what they choose, and that's cool. you hear the phrase, "hike your own hike" a lot out here. i say, stay uniquely ...

i split early as i have a long hike, need to resupply and maybe have breakfast in Atkins which is five miles down the road.it's a beautiful and warm day with fairly good trail. i get to the shelter by 4:30, get water, make a rare camp fire, have dinner and hit the bag before 7. am drifting off when i hear a rustling; damn mice. it gets louder to the point that i sit up, wondering now what? that's one big mouse! something/one is coming into camp. "Hey Bill!"first off, he apologizes for being so late but is all pissed about, of all things, work. while i was in Atkins having a big breakfast, he went to the gas station/convenience store to get on line and "check in".at 59 years old he retired and then went back to a full time job that he loves. But some people can make it unpleasant if not impossible. i listened and thought, "tell me about it". WORK is in my past and is simply a four letter, bad, word.i think my wife Deb, a.k.a. "Yes Ma'am", either misses me or wants to knock me off. the other day on the phone she suggested that i come home when she's off work in June and come back to the trail in December. December, for what i may have left of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine?! kinda makes you wonder who it is that is ...

the first part of today's trail was clear and fast up to Chestnut Knob Shelter; as for the 2nd half, ah, not so much.Garden Mountain was just what one might think. seemingly endless miles of rocks, stones, bolders, you name it. kinda pretty but nice to get out of too.am happy to report that my feet have settled down a bit. should have known that i'd have issues as i was diagnosed with Mortons Neuroma, by a podiatrist years ago. the doc said that the nerve between my 3rd and fourth toes was the size of a little finger instead of a healthy, dental floss width. he said that it's causing me a lot of pain because of over use and could only be fully corrected with surgery. "but doctor, what does this all mean", i ask. he looked at me with great concern and stated, "well son, simply put, your nerve is ..."
