Hey everyone!
It's been so much harder than I thought to stay in touch. Apparently pay phones don't exist anymore. Also, the wifi on my ipod is never good enough to use - people always make fun of me on the trail because I don't know how to use technology.
Anyway,
Yesterday I crossed the Virginia state line and i'm in the town of Damascus. 467 miles into the trail. There is a 3 day hikers festival this weekend called ''Trail Days'' that I'm hanging out at. There are vendors and lives music and food. I haven't had to pay for much being a thru hiker, people give us food all the time and beers when we want them. My body could use the few days off I'm sure but I feel pretty good otherwise.
My pack that I started with is about to wear out, so I just had to buy a new one. The straps and zippers are falling apart. It was old and not cut out for a thru hike anyway. I got a good deal in this town though due to the hiker festival.
I don't get to a computer very often but I'm at a library right now but I'll be in touch when I can.
