Sitting here in the library in Damascus with Skeeter and Mr. Fabulous typing away on the email with 9 minutes left before closing.


Here's the summary.  Love Sheila Wee.  Love parents and thinking about Granny and Papaw often.  Trail cruel in the past 4 days.  Snow high winds huge views  and luck in finding great people to take care of us.  Gung Ho and Tag Along got us out of Carver's Gap on a terrible night and  gave us the opportunity to slack pack 25 and 17 in the Roan Highlands area.  Holding up well.  

We caught up with Wiffle and Hawk and  they have sponge swords now.  Hawk stabbed me and I vow to steal the sword.  Brandon and  I did a 27 miles yesterday to get into Damascus, we started at 3 a.m. and the hiking into the morning mist at "ambient daylight" is just fantastic.


Brandon is a big help to me and is putting up with me really well.  I have to remind him I"m 50 every so often but without him I would not be having the fun I'm having.  My time is running out.

Tell my parents I love them and I am writing letters tonight to mail to lots of people.  I love you.
