How do I celebrate summiting a mountain? thats how! cum watch your favorite mountain mama over at IShotMyself.com ! So, not having had regular internet access for over six months now (because I was hiking on the Appalachian Trail) means that you miss up hearing cool news or about awesome events. Well, one event I was slow to catch up to but ended up hearing about just in time to attend with my partner [...] i wore my boots out walkin’ poured my heart out talkin’ i felt the pain & i broke the chain but i still got a long way to go been on the road ‘til tomorrow been through the joys & the sorrows came through the flood & i pulled through the mud but i still [...] In the last shelter I read an entry in the trail register written by another Northbound thru-hiker that said “Momma K better put out after all these months I been chasin’ her!”.

I was stuck in the little town of Duncannon, PA for the majority of the time. If you ever happen to be passing through, please stay at the Doyle Hotel and [...] Thats me ontop of Mcaffee’s Knob. They call it the Virginia Blues, the feeling of hopelessness that you’re never going to get out of Virginia. Its the biggest state on the trail, over 500 miles long.
