So today I want to share someone else's blog. One of the doubters I met on the trail wrote about me in his blog as one of the most inspirational people he met on the trail. He and his crew were highly skeptical about my ability to complete the trail. I cannot recall what cooking issues I had the evening we met but for some reason even after 500+ miles, he thought I seemed pretty clueless. Before this trek I had done 2 weeks in Maine and a ten day trip in Montana to do trail maintenance; however I will admit that after hiking all day on a questionable amount of sleep, I often do pretty dumb things just like everyone else who's too tired to think straight. As stated before, I knew I could do it barring any serious injury or long term illness because I know a thing or two about sticking through the rough times. The trail is a psychological strength test and I have been working that muscle for a very long time. Anyway here's the link if your interested on hearing someone else's perspective of Two-Pack. (In case you missed my trail stories, Two-Pack was my trail name.)
