Ron,
Yes, we met in Atkins VA as I was picking her and Austin up for a quick trip to a graduation.
Great news on the permit! Looking forward to following the blog.
Five Pair and four friends were on top of Springer today and there are visions of a thru hike for a couple of them… Five Pair included. On the way down from the start she bumped into the Myakka Mules, a husband and wife team, that she hiked with back in 2012. They were launching their niece. What are the chances of that?!? 🙂
Will be doing a blog again and with your permission will mention your adventure and post a link.
Will pass on your regards as she asked today whether you received your permit. Know that she is envious of your hike but thrilled to be back at it and particularly with friends along.
All the best to you and your daughter.
Jim
Hi Jim – Exciting news about Five Pair thru hiking again this year! And I remember the Myakka Mules as well – that is quite a coincidence! Yes – feel free to mention our blog and provide a link. If you could send us your blog and link as well that would be great. We’re still trying to develop our website. My wife, Joy, is a professional IT person – but this website development in WordPress is like another world! Not intuitive for us yet. My daughter and I fly into San Diego on April 17th. We have arranged for a trail angel to drive us out to the southern terminus the morning of April 18th and our PCT adventure will begin. Thank you for your reply and please stay in touch! Bucket
