Breathe deep that yet sweet, lucid air

Every day, multiple times throughout the day, I think about the Trail and miss being out there.  This song sums it up pretty well and always brings a few tears to my eyes.



So find some ground, lace up your boots, start walking
And you will find reason
Enough reason to believe

Seeks It

"No wealth of kings can compare."

I want to shout out a huge congratulations and mazel tov to our friend, Seeks It, for his recent and incredible accomplishment.

This year he walked 4,368.4 miles on the AT.

Many people attempt a thru-hike.  Only a few attempt a yo-yo (hiking to the end, turning around, and hiking back again).  Seeks It set out to hike the AT twice in one year by retracing his steps every day (essentially, a day by day yo-yo).

We had the privilege to meet him up in the Maine woods a couple days in a row as he was either setting out or retracing his daily miles.

We were blown away by what he was doing.  Everything we went through, the steep inclines, rocky uneven terrain, bad weather... he did twice in the same day.

You need to think about that for a moment, and let it sink in.

Anyways, he is a much more gifted writer than I am, and I encourage you all to check out his blog and read back on his earlier entries.

Proud of you, Seeks It!  And so glad KitFox and I had the pleasure to meet you.
