It's hot and muggy in New York, but our plans are swiftly moving us back to the hotter south where another 550 miles of our beloved trail await our steps.
Buster and I left our southbound thru-hike last October when my own knee pain and a complication with his foot led us to make the decision to stop for the season. It was heartbreaking in every sense of the word for months afterward as I thought constantly about the trail we had left. We moved on with our life, though. I moved up to New York after the first of the year to be closer to where Buster lives and in late January we decided to get engaged! We picked an early August date of this year for the wedding.
The only thing we could think more appropriate to do before the wedding was to finish the trail that had brought us together. So now we have now decided to hike from Atkins, VA to Springer Mt between June 5th and mid July! Everyday we get more and more excited about getting back out there and resuming the thru-hiker's life that seemed second nature last summer and fall. Ramen cooked over the little can stove will never have tasted so good.
Until then, we look forward to continuing our journey and our story with all of you!
Buster and Bluebird.
