My friends,
New adventure. I was leaving my motel (the Hiawassee Inn) this morning to hitch to a town to catch a bus and all of the employees came out and started giving me advice and wishing me well. They supplied me with sign making materials (apparently its important when hitch hiking to make your destination clear) and while I was spelling out "Gainesville" in large bold letters the manager arranged to get me a ride to Atlanta tomorrow with other tenants.
I'm skipping ahead up to Pennsylvania where my buddy Brett has been kind enough to offer me his couch for a few days for my feet to heal up. I don't want to blow enough money for a week at the motel. The trail runs just west of his school, Shippensburg University, so I plan to hop on again there and walk back home.
I like hiking. I don't want to do it for months on end. I have time and a bit of money so I'll take another trip or two before I try to find a flexible job this summer (maybe I can pick up a couple days at Deja as well?). I'll do some section hiking, maybe meet up with some of my hiking group when they're coming through Pennsylvania.
Stories to come!
