The limbs work again

Yesterday I went out again and managed to walk the entire 16.6 miles back to this location in 9 hrs. Just as I arrived back the thunder and lightening started and I managed to find a ride back to the hostel quickly. The knees were a little punky this morning so I decided to take another day of rest. Tomorrow will probably be the day I head out for Franklin NC and be able to say I completed the state.

Listen to your body, dude. I know you really, really want to get through at least one state, BUT you have to live the rest of your life with those knees of yours. Regardless, I've still got fingers/toes crossed for you. You're living the dream! Enjoy it while you're out there.

've added the pepperoni and summer sausage to the package I'm mailing tomorrow; maybe you just need some hearty meat fat to grease your knees. I'm not sure if you should apply it directly or eat it.....I'm sending positive knee vibes your way. Just let me know if there is anything else you need. If you aren't able to finish the hike, at least you get to experience some of it. I'm still envious. Are there bugs? That would make me less envious.

Enough of this sissing! Suck it up and deal! Your gonna walk your sorry butt back to Maine. Quiting is for inbred frog chompers! You can always get a new knee, they can remake you, faster, stronger, longer...........
