It was a hell of an adventure. Around 300 miles on a bicycle and about 700 on the Appalachian Trail. I have stories that would raise the hair on your neck and make a grown man quiver. Got snowed on, met some amazing people and have started planning my next trip. A walk across America with a goat.

Dont envy me. Envy the guys who walked the entire thing. 2187 or so miles on foot. I just had to stop. I had to rest too much, my ankle and knee walking 5000 ft up a mountain just did me in.

Either getting charged by a big mamma black bear and her stopping 10ft short of me after getting in between her and her cub on accident or followed after hiking 2 hrs after dark by a pack of coyotes.

The mice in the shelters were actually the worst. A black bear will generally run from a person, unless you threaten her cub. A mouse will chew your pack to hell trying to get into your food bag. Thats why we used mouse hangers. But you can still feel them running over you at night. And they carry all kinds of nasty diseases.

I give up on the ideas he comes up with. Just go with the flow, but I see a goat roast in the future if he becomes my problem in some way. :lol:

Mike we were sleeping on the ground down in Baja near Puerto Citos. Woke up to kangaroo rats jumping around us and all over us looking for food. Shown the light on them and was amazed, must have been 50 or more. Girls moved to the truck bed then. ASAP.

You NEVER use the shelters on the Trail.

I waked it in 1972. 30 lb pack would be worth about a week. The Trail has changed a lot since 1972. There is a town darn near every time you cross a road now. I planned two week caches at Post Offices. Sometimes these were way off the Trail.

Coyotes were not around in 1972, at least I never saw any in the 130 days of walking, black bears for sure.

Anyway a lot different walk today.

It is something you will never forget.
