Day 11 - Mar 3
I did absolutely nothing today and I truly mean absolutely nothing. Just because I woke up at 8 does not mean that I got out of bed. In fact, I have probably been out of bed for a combined time of maybe 2 hours. It stormed for most of the morning, but as the day rolled on the sun came out and a nice gentle breeze blew through the cabin windows. We enjoyed our break today. Between stretching and just laying around, we barely feel the stress our bodies have been under for the past 10 days.
The upcoming days will be the hardest challenge the south has to offer, or so we have heard. We will start our approach into the smokies in 2 days. In a weeks time the smokies should be wrapped up. If the forecast holds the weather should be some of the best we have experienced on the trail which would lead to incredible views.
Along with resting, we got to check what was going on in the world around us. Politics is nuts currently, dont know about none of that stuff. Coronavirus seems to be going around so that's no good and people seem to be generally insane. So I guess not much has changed in the past 10 days. Good to know.
I also got to listen to music for the first time in awhile. For some reason I had a few songs stuck in my head over the past few days. The list is as follows
Alan Jackson - chasing that neon rainbow
George Straight - check yes or no
Kenny Rodgers - gambler
Riley Green - I wish grandpa's never died
Last but not least and I have no idea what the actually name of this song is, but it was that sunday school song about father abraham and his many sons, and I am one of them and so are you so let's just praise the Lord.
I was walking down the trail the other day and for what reason that song popped into my head I know not why, but it was in my head nonetheless.
Shorter blog tonight, as I have nothing to report other than looking forward to another great night of sleep.
It's also about time to get back on the trail. I cannot wait for the upcoming days, really looking forward to it all.
Goodnight,
Tyler M.
Must have been so exhausting to write this blog tonight. Good to see that you persevered. :-) Glad that you boys could take it easy today, well earned. Enjoy your 16 hot dogs.
ReplyDeleteYou got some needed rest great, not really missing much in the world. Today is super Tuesday for the primaries, KoBuchar and Buttigeg withdrew and now support Biden.....Corona virus affecting financial markets
ReplyDeleteFather Abraham had many sons, many sons had Father Abraham... lol
ReplyDeleteTyler,. I'm glad you got some rest today. It sounds as if you are on an adventure of a lifetime. I praying for your safety.
ReplyDeleteThat is funny about the Father Abraham song. It is probably not a mistake that it popped into your head. Just a reminder of who created you and all the creation around you. Also a reminder to Praise God for it all.
Have a great day and be safe!
