Well my friends, it seems like the fates have firmly decided that this hike will not happen for me. I was able to work around the first set-back, but this one I see no way out of. My Mother has been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and will require 5 days a week radiation treatments. Since she is not capable of getting to them herself, it falls to my brother and sister and me to get her there. It is a 100+ mile trip one way, and right now I have no idea how we will manage it. I hope this is in time so that someone may fill my slot. I guess some things are just not meant to happen, no matter how badly we want them.Trying to look for a brighter side, I did get some new gear in preparation for the hike; I hope I can find a chance to use it.
