Due to the weather down south and my ankle I am gonna have to wait till the spring to finish my hike. This was a good way to get experience and I am going to do the whole trail next year.

So my ankle got so bad I couldn't hike on it anymore and had to stop....12 miles from the halfway point. I just got home this morning and the doctor said it could be a stress fracture. If it is it could be 6-8 weeks before I can hike again so hopefully it is not that. I am pretty pissed, hopefully it works out.

Messed up my ankle somehow the other day...not sure what happened, gonna have to go home if its not better by tomorrow :/

Some of the better graffiti ive seen on the trail

The Pinnacle.... I love PA, so flat! I also love food, conidering hitting up thos chinese buffet

Coming across the mile long bridge walk in NJ( Bruin and Logan you guys missed out!). My raw and blistery feet after days of being wet, very painful, just came out of 2 weeks of rain. I am now in Delaware water gap, PA taking it easy. I think NJ was my favorite state so far!

sunrise in NY.

Crossing into CT. Its been raining for 8 days. In NY tonight

Some pics of Mass....finally a break from the rain. In CT tomorrow morning

shelter life

Just climbed my last 3000 foot mountain for a longggggg time.

Just crossed over into Mass yesterday. The temperature went up like 15 degrees when i got outside of vermont it didnt make sense. I pretty much froze all through Vermont, not a whole bunch of fun.

not many cool things in VT so far.....very easy though and thats good enough for me

Just made it to Hanover, NH. About to enjoy a large pinapple and ham pizza in celebration of making it through the toughest 442 miles on the trail!!

A typical campsite

My journey through Rohan (Lord of the Rings reference)

Yeah whatever

These were taken within like 30 seconds of each other

The White Mountains

Just made it over the presidential range, gotta love hiking in 80 mph winds...97 miles of NH left. Taking it pretty easy, about 7 days till VT.

Pack weight after i dropped the useless crap: 34.8 lbs. :D

3 weeks into it. weight:184.8 lbs.

Sinking into 2 feet of unexpected mud, some more of Maine, and my happy exit
