Em's boyfriend left the trail 100 miles early because we destroyed his feet. Oops, sorry.
Got dropped off at the road around ten and hiked up away from the Interstate.
It was a little south which was annoying. Lots of thimble berries to eat. Met 3 Germans and a guy named Town Food.
Talked about how the word 'trip' does not encompass what this is. It is an experience. Maybe if you wanted to sound cheesy you could say journey or life changing experience. It's difficult to come.up with a word for what this is, there isn't anything to really portray this. It is a thru-hike. and that is hard to explain.
I went on a whole tangent in my head about melons and wondering where they were native to all morning ....... then I found some on the trail! I wish I knew what kind they were.
Saw an old and split open tree rotting away and leaving behind just the inner sapling. There is some eloquent metaphor for never losing your inner child or something but I'm too tired to figure it out.
There is a lot of time for self reflection out here, being alone in your head for thousands of hours... And today I noticed a big change in myself that must have slowly changed without me noticing it. Today when we were in the car driving back to the trail I wasn't nervous. I was content, confident and not in the least bit worried that I couldn't do what I was setting out to do.
I also have a new appreciation for music, everything sounds like I'm hearing it for the first time.
