Saturday morning we woke up for breakfast and a 7 mile group hike along the AT. It always brings back fond memories when we hit THE trail. Critter enjoyed his first hike (I guess). We’ll see if he comes out wearing hiking boots or not. I thought I’d be exhausted but it was actually quite invigorating. That afternoon we just hung out and watched a few slide shows that people had created on their hikes of various other trails. In the evening I helped in the kitchen cutting potatoes and apples for our feast. I’ve never seen so much food (some yummy…some scary).
Sunday morning Jacob and I slept in. I was a little disappointed as I was hoping to attend the morning devotion. That afternoon Sally and Clarence and Lauren and Chad met us for a vomitous drive up to Wayah Bald and a nice picnic of Zaxby’s. Yum. Sadly they had to leave us because they had to work on Monday. Jacob and I went to our tent and we slept for like 14 hours. That was much needed!!
Monday morning we left the Ruck and headed home (with a stop at Cracker Barrel in between). I enjoyed the meeting with people who have hiked the AT or who plan on hiking the AT. There were certainly a myriad of different people there…professionals, hiker bums, young, old, clean, dirty, etc. Maybe we’ll attend again next year…who knows though b/c things are definitely changing in the Cartner household and we can’t wait!!
This is me atop Wayah Bald on our 2004 thru-hike. Brrr.
Jacob and I stayed with Stanimal and Officer Taco under their bunks at NOC on our 2004 thru-hike.
