Appalachian trail thru hikers

Nantahala Gathering

More rain. More hikers in Nantahala Outdoor Center. More fun. More food.

Saw a few cars with backpacks waiting for somebody on parking lots. Though how lucky was these somebody to have a supporting car to carry their stuff. I would give much for supporting the car. Later I was offered to do that many times, but every time I refused. All services in the woods are killing the point of why you are there.

You at the beginning and you a month later are two different persons.

From journalism and car racing in Russia to teaching at the University in South Africa, where she won Alliance de France and the British Consulate international photo contests, she switched paths: earned a silver medal at the 2011 World Masters Athletics USA, hiked the 2,081-mile Appalachian Trail, navigated the Amazon from Peru to Brazil, biked Route 66 from Chicago to LA, from London to Orkney, and from Canada to Key West, and launched an art project at Midcoast Maine. During lockdown drove to Olympic Valley Palisades Tahoe where became a ski and swim instructor, then… well, enough for now.
