Don't call it a comeback

I am sorry to everyone about the past few posts. I was feeling sick lately so Matt didn't let me touch his phone, so he has been writing the latest posts. But I'm feeling better and I'm back so now you can start reading the posts again. Today was a great day. The forecast was for rain, but it never happened! This was our first full day without rain since the 6th I think. I can't remember what it is like to have dry shoes and sock. And wouldn't you know, Vermont is pretty beautiful. 

We took a side trail to Killigton, VT this morning to a deli, which was a great decision. We took our time all day because we only did 21.8 today. Chino promised us that we won't have to do another day over 24, which would be really nice. 

You know, out here some days it is harder to hike than others. Some days can be miserable, if the weather doesn't cooperate or if the hiking is hard. But every day I remind myself how lucky I am to be out here, hiking everyday, getting to enjoy God's amazing mountains. I love the simple life. I wake up with the sunrise and go to be with the sunset. I breathe the fresh mountain air all the time. I don't have to worry about studying or tests or working or anything like that. I hike all day and have company with friends along the way. And we have made it over 1700 miles on the AT which still feels unreal to me. Life is good.
