Will be hitting the Appalachian Trail with my 7.9 year old and 2 hammocks for the next 3 nights. Leaving in about 10 hours. But first I have to get this 10k, a parade, and some watermelon out of the way...

Oh, to be that age when fractions of a year make a difference
Take lots of pictures!!! And savour your time together. They grow up too fast.
Wow what a hike! Saw deer, a herd of wild hogs, 2 bears, and weathered a rain storm under bikini tarps. Quite an adventure for a first major hammock hike for both of us. Full report here. Pics coming soon, and will add to the new trip reports section.

Sounds like a very productive trip: 1) dismissed 2 major trail anxieties-bears & bad weather 2) earned trail name for Count Snail 3) learned tarp lessons, and 4) documentented life experience that will last a lifetime---Congratulations! And I hope the Atlanta Roadrace 10K was equally as memorable- I remember it being a real hoot- running down the road chasing 40,000 people while being chased by 10,000 people. Good report. Thanks.

Great trip report - look forward to seeing the pics.
Better Han Slowlo than FrankWHINEstein! Is he ready to go again?

I'd rather be in the mountains thinking about God, than in church thinking about the mountains.
