hola its be a while been a a seriously crazy journey i think a vast majority of hikers have relized its not only just hiking to maine its a begining to an endless adventure it has striked courage in a lot of people experiences things they never thought they could do cause of normal life so people really do go wild in so many ways (good ways) ...
so i left off in the shanandoahs which i didnt aqua blaze cause it was crazy expensive so hiked out with machete at night and begin the truck in mrs janet had said to hike as much of the road as we could cause there were way more views so we did. It was amazing and so much wild life black bears, snakes, owls, turkeys and my buds invictus and road kill saw a bob cat, WILD!! So while hiking on the road after going to a "touristy" pit stop and getting ice cream machete and i got stopped by two rangers asking us for our permits (which we had no idea about and NO other thru hiker had) we said we had no idea and what was it for they said its a free permit to check the amount of people coming in and out and for our saftey (silly) they had said theyd give us one and to give them our ids, which i thought was weird for a free permit. And they did and as she gave us our ids back she gave us a lovely 75 dollar ticket for hiking without a permit!!! WHAT!! If anything was to happen to either one of us we have id on us and whats a silly permit going to do if we get hurt or whatever. Needless to say i was pretty pissed off what a dumb thing expecially for two young kids that have a long way to hike still on a budget i had even said to the ranger the same thing..ERRR..so in fustration we hitched out of the shanandoahs to front royal where we played music to take care of the ticket. In front royal playing music a couple stopped and said hey you two want to go to washington dc? DUH and adventure yep! So we went to dc on a whim and while there meeting with a friend at big bear cafe discusing where in the world to sleep :) the lovely waitress heather invited us to crash at her house we stayed up telling her stories and her telling us hers letting us shower and do laundry!! I made her the most amazing breakfast in the morning in return for her kindness. The next day we met up with piper and his friend and guess what?! got a ride to ct where i grabbed my car and went back..its just about forth of july and everyone was talking about going guess where? DC haha so i collected a car load of kids and dogs ha and went to dc where heather again was so kindly welcoming (shes hooked on crazy hikers) while at her work again the was a kid sitting next to our table outside and seemed like an adventure kid just so happens he is and while at heathers fourth of july night the kid walked into her house named johnny and he wanted to come join us :) and he did we set out ready to hike and then the idea of the catskills came up and so we went and playing in waterfalls, then in was saratoga for a jam band show, woodstock ny, went up to the adarondacks and stayed at patches families lake cabin AMAZING, then lake george, and the one above it between vt and ny i cant think of it right now then burlington then camels hump part of the long trail crazy now it trail time agian dont know where im going to pick up but ill let you all know on a crazy journey:)
