Trail Days... what a time. Thanks to everyone with "Trail Talk" for taking Curly and I in and making us feel like part of your group. Your kindness is very much appreciated and there is no way we can every thank you enough. The food was great and the conversation better. To "Windy Girl" thanks for letting us kidnap your son, we are having a blast just talking with each other. Hope that this update finds everyone back home in good health and having a good time. We are doing good just getting back into the hiking mode after five days off for trail days. Hope to post again soon and will be sending pics home shortly so more should be up in the next two weeks.

We had two zero days at the fontana hilton shelter to heal my feet, but good to go now ready to be back on the trail.

He pretty much said the most of it lol. Let me just say that walking in the rain with 40 pounds on your back really sucks. Everything gets wet. Then you get to get up the next day and walk in already wet gear in even more rain... Ya if you can't tell I really don't like doing that... otherwise can't complain, much
