"Phil Valentine’s call to walk the Appalachian Trail is a vivid example of moving beyond recovery FROM life-threating illnesses as a means of recovering TO a life of extraordinary possibilities. Thousands of us who have shared the challenges and unexpected gifts from such recovery journeys will be walking in spirit with him.” ~Bill White, National Recovery Advocate
A vista from yesterday. Hit another milestone today - 100 miles!! Finished today at Winding Stair Gap (mile 109.8) after 12 days of hiking. The last 4 nights - rain/wind/40's, then wind/snow/ice/high 20's, then deep freeze in the teens and finally a raging thunderstorm last night. But the sun still manages to shine.
