How ridiculous is it to just take off to Virginia (again), spend money I don’t have on gas (again), hang out with this group of thru-hikers that I simply can’t get enough of (again), and maybe get some miles in but most likely there will be lots of cheap domestic beer consumed (again)?

I really love backpacking - I really do - but after spending more nights this summer in my sleeping bag than bed and not showering for days, it is nice to feel clean & comfy in my apartment.

But damn, I miss that mountain air tonight

In Virginia. Hostel parties are the best parties, so we’re pulling a 0 today and recovering. I still have 45 miles to hike before I reach my car and I’m supposed to go back to NC tomorrow. I’m not sure I’m going to make it on time. (Time? What is time?)

“I find it extremely impossible not to cry when I hear Stevie Nicks’s “Landslide,” especially the lyric: “I’ve been afraid of changing, because I’ve built my life around you.” I think a good test to see if a human is actually a robot/android/cylon is to have them listen to this song lyric and study their reaction. If they don’t cry, you should stab them in the heart. You will find a fusebox.”

after more than a year of being single, i’m not quite sure how to…not be single? like, when someone says, “i miss you,” is it okay to respond with, “well, i miss you too, but i’m actually kind of glad you’re not here and i’m getting to experience this on my own?”

Up early, packing for Canada. I’m leaving tomorrow for an adventure that will consist of me becoming a lighthouse keeper, hiking the International Appalachian Trail, seeing & photographing the Northern Lights, and wrestling polar bears. (That’s probably an exaggeration.)
