I completed the AT 2011 page. https://gravelboy.edublogs.org/at/at-2011/
This was a very gratifying hike. I was able to complete more than 200 miles—thanks in part to Hedy being my car person. The weather was very good with the exception of heavy rain on one of the days. Even though I was caught in the rain I still managed 14+ miles. Hedy swears she thoroughly enjoyed the vacation. For her it was drop me off in the morning and then she could do whatever she wanted. However she did have to pick me up at a guesstimated time and place, arrange motels and laundry. Somehow it worked out well for her as she was able to explore new areas and meet new folks.
I hiked 15 straight days with the 11 miles being the shortest day. Salisbury, Connecticut was a good goal for me to shoot for and hopefully I can duplicate this effort next year when I take on Massachusetts and Vermont.
On another note, I have been hiking in Government Canyon on the weekend. It is a hell-hole. I feel badly for the wildlike as it must be suffering. Here’s a little fellow I’ve seen the past 3 weeks just outside of HQ. I believe it is a Texas Spiny Lizard.
