Michael called. They passed the 900 mile mark today. He said the
weather is hot but tonight should bring rain and cool it down a little. They are hiking 20-23 miles each day now. The Shenandoah National Forest is easier walking. Hawk's toe nail surgery was successful. He is not in pain anymore and truckin' on. His call was short and sweet...a big cheeseburger was waiting on him and then they were headed back to the trail. I used to be more important than a cheeseburger. lol Seriously, I am so proud of all these thru hikers. Amazing!!
