Hey to all, I am finally out of the big state of Virginia and passed the 1000 miles marker. My legs and feet feel great and my soul as well. It has rained for the last two weeks or as far back as I can remember it seems, but everything is still going to plain and life is good... as always right? The Shanadoah National Park was super easy unlike the rest of Virginia. The weather got really Hot while I was there so I woke up at 4 in the mourn, and hiked till lunch and slept during the hot part of the day...one week I see snow and the next it is 90 degrees. I didnt use my hiking poles in the park in hopes of sneaking up on a bear, but no luck and no pictures of one. I got to Harpers Ferrys today and it has been really cool...alot of history here. I really would like to come back and vist again when I have more time. Tommorrow I am catching the train to Washington D.C. for the day and try to see as much as I can see. I feel so lucky everyday for my health and to be able to be out here doing something as crazy as this. Heres to another 1000 miles!

    Thanks for the update! So proud of you, so impressed. I have been sewing for Sam. It is bittersweet to know he begins the trail soon. I am thankful that he will be with you. It has been so great to have you out there and get a bird's eye view of this before he and Sallie join you. The three of you will be awesome together! (I well remember the day you mentioned all of this to Isabel and me. After that day and Isabel telling me we had to give Sallie to them, I do not lol anymore at veryunusal ideas. Both of those ideas came true quickly and I was thinking NO WAY to both.) Now I am on board with both and loving every part of each. So, have a great walk! You were special before, but now you are adopted. Pretty good gift to give myself on Mother's Day, right! (Sorry so much...)
