Before spring hiking the CDT ?,! Ice picks, shoe shoes..... I look at those vast mountains, above 9,000 feet and think --Yikes !,!, Hypothermia, frost bite... how did you ward it off ? Some of your speeches (?) seemed like , were either for epic effects ? Hey that was a pretty hard core journey at that time of the year, and so quick . Also... personally, I teared up seeing your Dad meet up with you for his short visit...if it was me, I would have needed it by that time, to have my cheering section lift my spirits. That was a good call on his part. 😎
