PICTURES


Our stove & pot.

After Franklin, NC, we found "Apple," a trail angel, 15 miles on the trail. He cooked us hot dogs and had a buffet of candy & cookies. Plus, we spent the night in his tent with 2 other thru-hikers (the bonus: his wood burning stove.)


We built a wall of shoes around a fire-place in the Smokies. After hiking in the rain, a few boys from Kentucky were able to build a fire (they did have a fire block starter ;)



"Walk-About" & "Endor" in the Smokies. This shelter had a fire-place as well as a bear cage.


Christian Trail Angels "Fal" & "Herecules" opened their home to provide hikers with a meal & a book. It was so good to have a home cooked meal!

Surprise! We found cold Cokes in the spring...more trail magic.

An awesome care package from our parents...THANKS!

Crazy adventures! I love it! Missing you both and praying for you! Britt, I think "Hot Mess" fits you. You could have also used "Struggles" from TIU days. :)
