A decent slog to get up hereI love it when the sun highlights a land featureThe sound of rushing water in the early morningSometimes it’s just you and your shadow
I’ll keep this post brief: mainly just a quick update of new photos, as well as some videos (22-29) on my YouTube Channel, so check those out if interested. I’m writing from The Station at 19E, a small hiker hostel on the Tennessee North Carolina border. I’m currently at mile 409, about 60 miles until I reach Damascus, Virginia, a well-known AT trail town that hosts the annual multi-day AT Trail Days event. I’ve walked through Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee so far, Virginia will be the 4th of 15 states and is the longest. My feet are holding up well and I’m way ahead of where I figured I’d be right now, so that’s all great. I’m starting to long for a break so I’ll probably zero soon. Hope you enjoy the pictures! Next update from Virginia. Love, Max
