I wish I had a cool hurricane story. I wish it had been necessary to tie myself to a tree to avoid being blown away and I wish I had spent the duration of the storm with wind whipping through my hair while I cursed the gods like Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump. Unfortunately, when the rains came, I was in a cheap hotel playing cards and eating caramel ice cream. If it weren't for the condition of the trail the next day, I wouldn't have noticed that a hurricane had been here at all. The picture above is NOT a creek--that's the trail. My feet are soaked but I'm in a great mood. Today, I cross a state border for the 13th and final time. States finished: Georgia North Carolina Tennessee Virginia West Virginia Maryland Pennsylvania New Jersey New York Connecticut Massachusetts Vermont New Hampshire States remaining: Maine |
