Heading Home
I have decided to head home. My midlife crisis was short and cost a lot less money than a new BMW!
Appalachian Trail 2021
Days to Regroup
I am anxious to get back on the trail. I will spend tomorrow sorting and sifting through my bins that were in the slackpack van, figuring out what will go in my backpack and what will stay in the bins until they make their way to Williamsburg. Hopefully I will be back on the trail in a little over 48 hours.
