The Appalachian Trail is in the Appalachian mountains. In 1980, the vast majority of the trail was in the woods with an occasional short distance on a dirt or paved road. Hiking in the mountains means lots of ups and downs. After long, hard climbs I was often rewarded with spectacular views. Down in between the mountain tops there were often mountain streams. Taking a drink of cold mountain water fresh from a stream is just the thing to be refreshed after a long afternoon of hiking. The trees were beautiful, the birds were often singing, and from time to time I was able to see a deer or other wildlife. The entire experience was worth all the effort!
My current project has it's ups and downs too. Weekends are hard when there are family celebrations. Today I weighed in at 183.0 pounds. I'll just keep on going and hope to make some progress in the future. Regardless of the outcome, I will enjoy the journey!
