A sad but happy day
Today I received the news that I cannot extend my visa. I feel sad that even though WILLING I will not be able to flip flop and complete a thru hike on the Appalachian trail this year.
I will however have enough time to hike the 300 miles that remain between me and Mt Katadhin.
I happy that I’m able to complete the final part of the trail. But even happier that I get to hike with such wonderful people, and see them complete a 2193 mile journey.
I have learned many lessons and have many more to learn. 300 miles is a long way to go, I’m truly blessed by the trail gods.
