The 'Crazy AT8' at its finest

Great to see old friends! Huge huge thanks to Amanda & Ian for putting these smelly hikers up for a couple nights! You two are great.

Made it to Harpers Ferry and decided to hit DC! Had a great time with our crazy trail family. We saw the Washington and Lincoln Monuments as well as the Smithsonian Gallery, Natural History Museum, and Air & Space Museum. It was a blast!

Well, Folks, we have finally hit 1000 miles! It's been a long, difficult, beautiful experience so far. Looking forward to finding out what the next thousand has to offer us!

Met Scott Jurek a couple days ago! This guy is hardcore. He is attempting to speed run the AT, averaging 50 miles a day! Also.. He is a Duluthian!

'You just went and made a new dinosaur? Sounds like a bad idea to me.' Hey all! We are in Glasgow Virginia at a free hiker field that we can set our tents up in. Charlie, lil b, isn't feeling great. Just a stomach virus but we decided to resupply early and lay low for the day. Hoping for a full recovery sometime tomorrow, but otherwise all is well! Hope you enjoy the updates. We should be in harpers ferry in two weeks time. Halfway here we come!

This last section through McAfee knob has been breathtaking! Lil b snapped the bottom pano on the Tinker Cliffs just north of the knob. Gorgeous! It was a fun last section with zip lines and giant trees. Unfortunately Duster is currently off trail with compression fractures. It's tough to see a friend go down but we hope he will be able to recoup and finish out his hike! Onward to Harpers Ferry and the official midway point!

Welcome to the Graceland Highlands! Where ponies will lick the dew off your tent... Or if you're Alt they'll unstake the tent! Mostly a great week, but Krusty came down with a bug and we ended up staying a bit longer than intended. A zero in Marion did the trick and we are back running wild like the ponies we are. NeeeeeeeeaaaGH!!!
