I'm off!

Sorry to hear your trip didn't end quite the way you planned, but you seem to have the proper attitude about it. Hope all is well with you. It is the journey that matters most. Best wishes for next year.

I leave in about an hour for Denver. Will fly to Atlanta tomorrow and begin my Thru-hike early Wednesday morning. Looking forward to hiking with many of you.

Came into Hot Springs yesterday. Taking a zero today. Everything is going good. Looking forward to hitting the trail early tomorrow.

In Harper's Ferry. Leaving in the morning. Everything is going great. In response to an e-mail, my trail name is Shamrock.

Entered MA today. MM 1504 appx. Everything still going well.

Just a quick post to let a few people that had been following my progress know that I got off trail quite some time ago (3 Aug). Made it to Rutland, VA.

Had a great experience and am looking forward to finishing next summer.

I consider this a successful unsuccessful thru-hike attempt as I learned a lot about long-distance hiking and about myself. Congratulations to those that have completed their thru-hike and continued luck to those that are still out there.

If you haven't done it yourself, it's difficult to understand.

I suspect Rutland, VA, is actually Rutland, VT. Small typo; big difference in miles of Trail completed.

Thanks Marta for making me feel like an idiot
