  1. Day 90July 12, 2012You're the Best.. AroundMy sleeping-in-the-snorers-shelter gambit paid off, as no one else joined us. It did get surprisingly cold though, to the point where I had to get up to put…
  2. Day 91July 13, 2012What's luck got to do with it?Waking up to a hot breakfast being served to you is the right way to start the day. Dick Flap caught up with us this morning so he could eat properly as well…

  4. Day 105July 27, 2012Back to my filthy evil, I guessAfter an extended vacation from my vacation, I'm back on the path of the beam. During my week and a half of not hiking I got a lot done. I finally saw Moonrise…
  5. Day 106July 28, 2012If you're gonna spew, spew into thisStrangely enough, last night's sleep was the best I've had since I got off the trail. I only woke up once during the night, because I heard what I thought was a…
  6. Day 107July 29, 2012Does a bear shit in the woods?Once again I was awoken by a loud, wet, fart. This was immediately followed by the sound of a shocked and confused Chris. I did my best to not let my…
  7. Day 108July 30, 2012There's gliders in them thar woods!For a second time, the Allenberry has been a great place to stay. Once we awoke from our slumber, I threw in a load of laundry, and we made our way to the…
  8. Day 109July 31, 2012The Doyle Rules!I slept in until almost 10am, completely wiped from the day before. If I had known that the rocks would start in earnest today, I may have slept in a little…
  9. Day 110August 1, 2012A Bridge Over SusquehannaSleep was a wonderful thing last night. Somehow being directly across the street from a train line that runs every 30 minutes had no impact. I vacated my room…
  10. Day 110August 1, 2012Keeping the trail safe..?My morning was damp, as expected, but also loud. Everyone was jolted awake by someone on a bullhorn in the distance yelling "Good morning campers!". For some…
  11. Day 112August 3, 2012Treat YourselfA few animals wandered through camp last night, with the sole purpose of keeping me awake. I eventually fell back to sleep, and when I truly woke Jukebox and…
  12. Day 115August 6, 2012Rest, rain, and realityI'm doing a bit of catch-up blogging today, but there wasn't much to write home about. I spent all of Friday at the Days Inn, resting and eating. A day off the…
  13. Day 116August 7, 2012The Rocky Road to KatahdinI got back on the trail at 2:30pm yesterday. Joyce brought me back, but had a lot of appointments, so I waited for her in the Hampton Inn lobby. My options were…
  14. Day 117August 8, 2012It's a trap!I failed to realize how close we were to a highway before going to bed last night. I also forgot about the train tracks a couple blocks away. Needless to say…
  15. Day 119August 10, 2012Blue Mountain SummitI'll attempt to summarize the last 2 days, as I wile away the time waiting for my ride in front of a B&B in Andreas, PA. Since I last posted I've fallen from a…
  16. Day 120June 23, 2013Welcome back, enjoy the plagueHello true believers, it's that time again. It's been around 10 months since I took myself off the trail, but as of today I am back baby! If you were reading my…
  17. Day 121June 24, 2013Jail House, RocksI set up my tent to avoid the hornets, which turned out to be the right plan. I crawled into my little one-man bug net, and listened to mosquitos desperately…
  18. Day 123June 26, 2013Blueberry Fields ForeverBy the end of the night there were 18 hikers sleeping in the Jail House Hostel. Surprisingly, there wasn't a snoring problem. When I got up I knew my first stop…
  19. Day 124June 27, 2013Keep your head downWhen I got out of my tent, around 8am, the only person left in camp was Etch-a-Sketch. I joined her for breakfast, and I'm beginning to see different trends in…
  20. Day 125June 28, 2013Delaware Water GapThe rain came down in sheets last night, whipping up under the large shelter even. It was mostly just a misting under the roof, but surprising nonetheless…
