Update!

Pain is weakness leaving the body.... They say
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger... I've heard
No pain no gain.... Yeah yeah yeah

Long days with a 40+ pound pack up and down mountains is hard work. Left Damascus on Saturday morning. Had lots of beautiful views and met some special people.

Day 1 -Saturday - pond - 12 mi.
Day 2 - Sunday - Thomas knob shelter - 16.6 mi.
Day 3 - Monday - hurricane mtn shelter - 16 mi.
Day 4 - Tuesday - partnership shelter - 19.3 mi.

Today we head into Marion for a resupply. I keep losing things but i believe it is the karma i have taken on from my trail name "the sadhu" but only time will tell. By the end of the trip i may have nothing left. Considering mailing my camera home. I have a small bag of stuff to mail home to lose some weight.
