Hi, Thank you for letting me know where to read about your recent trip. It sounds as if you had fun! This is a busy time for us on the East Coast. I just got back from Hunting Island and now I am working the equivalent of two weeks in 7 days and then off to the next week of adventures which will be on the NC Coast instead of a solo hike on the AT...I think. I am such a chicken!!! I read about Park closures because of habituated bears in NC and thought that this would be a bad time for a first solo hike on the AT. :-(
Will you be visiting your brother in CH soon? Let's get together if you find yourself in the neighborhood!
Did you go to charleston and the shore or did you go backpacking? I went on a backpacking trip with canoe support. We were 6 days in the woods but just backpacked in and out with some day hikes. A cpl guys came across in a canoe and brought some luxury items that included steak and potatoes. You can see a trip report at backpacker in the midatlantic section. Hope you are healed up and ready to go. Got any trips planned? I'm not sure yet what I will be doing.
That ENO pad holder looks nice. Are you getting one? Do you have a hammock yet? Some folks sleep with their dogs in the hammock with them. How are you doing? Healing ok?
