Half Way
Well I made it Harper's Ferry West Virginia yesterday. It was a huge day. First of all, June 10th was my 22nd birthday, but I had forgotten all about that when I woke up at the Bear's Den hostel yesterday. Yesterday I hit 550 miles of the trail hiked this summer! On top of that it marked 1000 miles of the whole trail hiked since 2007. And Im finally out of Virginia, another big accomplishment. Now I can start knocking down states a lot more quickly. Also Tyler and my Dad came up to visit me and spend today in DC. We all had a blast. Its been absolutely amazing to see how God has been working in my life this summer and seeing that when I abide in him, just how he is able to provide wonderful things for me. There are tons of struggles with the size of this trip, the physical toughness, the ticks and hopefully not looming lyme disease, dangerous animals, lightning storms, freezing weather, etc. But the gifts provided to me have been innumerable including beautiful views, new friends, great conversations, exciting new experiences and much more. I wish I had more time to tell more stories. The pictures I'm posting will have to work for now though. Hope you all enjoy.-HULK

According to schedule I think Hulk hit the "official" 1/2 way point yesterday and hope he enjoyed that 1/2 gallon of ice cream. Dad
ReplyDeleteHulk, If you see a bulls eye rash, achy joints (more than normal) or if you start feeling like you have the flu you need to get antibiotic for Lyme Disease. It's not something to fool around with. If you don't feel any of these things you probably should get tested once you get home so you can deal with it if you got it while you're hiking, with no symptoms. I know a couple of people who had it and were terribly sick from it.
