Well, here is another quick blog just to let everyone know that I'm still alive and doing well. I'm in Erwin, TN making a quick, or not so quick, food resupply so that I can make it to Hot Springs and soak in a tub.
Tennessee has been beautiful. I spent a night at the highest shelter on the AT, so that was a fun little novelty. (although the shelter that sleeps 15 was filled with a college freshman orientation group and it was windy and in the 40's, but I'm not complaining)
I'm really looking forward to making it into the Smokies, it will definitely be a highlight. (once again, my brain is all over the place trying to cram info onto a computer screen as quickly as possible. sorry about that) My body is holding up amazingly, I feel really strong and my energy level is way up there. I'm not in a hurry to finish, but the reality of the trail coming closer to an end is starting to set in and I'm starting to think about the responsibilities that I will have.
Anyway, still loving the journey, God has been so good in this process.
