May 15. Two months since I started hiking. And my scheduled arrival date for Harpers Ferry. Unfortunately I’m still about 215 miles from Harpers Ferry. With my adjusted hiking rate I wouldn’t be finishing till about August 20, four days before my classes start at ASU. The bad news: I am no longer thruhiking the Appalachian Trail, but hoping to half and half it. The good news: I’ll be back in Boston for a week or two in early June, I’ll be teaching my own 3D design course at ASU, and I’m heading back to Damascus today For Trail Days! All in all I think this will work out for the best, my money and patience for mountains are getting low anyway.
The other night I camped alone in the vicinity of a stray bear cub. Can you see my friend deer?
