Short post to announce that we are officially a quarter of the way through the Appalachian Trail! Over 550 miles completed. There were days when I thought there was no way we make it even 200 miles. And here we are!! We have been feeling great physically and mentally and were especially stoked to reach this milestone. We celebrated by walking into a town and enjoying a couple of beers and dinner with a friend!
We have had some really beautiful hiking days recently and the weather is finally warming up. It took about 4-6 weeks, but we are both finally feeling solidly in shape and recovering quickly after tough climbs or long days. Virginia is treating us well so far and we are looking forward to the rest of the state!
