To put into words the past week,would not do the adventure of it all justice. I set out on this trip to find myself, no one said It would take the whole journey to find what I'm looking for. I think I have found it, in New Jersey of all places. This post is to my newly found friends/family at the Blue Ridge Rescue Squad. Your kindness and generosity have affected me in a huge way and I will carry that with me for the remainder of my journey. I spent Mon-Weds taking emergency calls and enjoying life with the Blue Ridge Rescue Squad! In total 7 calls in the time I was there, from car wrecks to unconscious guidos in barber shops this past week was one for the booksI will be back in Sussex county more sooner than later, Kyle,Teddy,Dave,Jimmy,and the rest of you guys were the most openly friendly and caring people I've met along the trail. I am excited about the possibility of coming back and making Branchville or the surrounding area home. Kyle and Teddy, thank you both so much for letting in the random hiker.(Go mets lol ) dave thank you for the camera! Jimmy thank you for alowing me to take calls and stay in the squad house and for the ride back to the trail. All of you went so out of your way to help me out and I can't thank you enough. I will be back.... The miles started rolling by again, last night I stayed at Wildcat shelter after a break for water at the hardly flowing Fitzgerald falls, I pushed out 15.6 miles to the Fingerboard shelter. The deer are everywhere! Bella really wanted to play with them but they didn't seem as enthusiastic about the idea, she couldn't understand why they ran away, one day maybe. My next 3 mail drops will be AWESOME! Matt,Syl, and Blue Ridge squad thanks a ton! Also thanks to everyone else who has offered to help out with drops, I will let you guys know something soon. The light is beginning to fade and I still have a sub to eat ( thanks shelley and I think Rob for the hitch) bella is barking at the wind and somewhere in the distance some New York youth are enjoying a summer camp and ruining my tranquility! Oh well... Just hike your own hike!
Live vicariously through me.
