Technology Failure

Sad day. Emily is in Damascus VA, right this very minute, but can't upload any pictures or journal entries. Woe is us.

What we're going to do while we wait for a techno-miracle is compose a list of superlatives for the first 500 miles. Things like longest day, tallest mountain, best day, funniest moment, best granola bar...

That's right, I said "we" as in all of you reading this. Leave a comment with the superlative you'd like to see the answer to. I'll make sure Emily gets the list and we'll get you a shiny new blog post in return, how's that sound?

3,2,1 GO!


PS. Approximately 7 days until Pearisburg VA (zip 24134) mail drop, and 21 days until Linden VA (zip 22642) mail drop. Address any mail/package:

    Emily: this came from my cousin Wendy:

    Hi Joel,

    Thanks for letting me know (about Emily). We see a huge slug of AT hikers come through
    each spring. They always have a very well-worn look about them. It would
    be fine for her to contact us if she needs, advice, assistance, a ride to
    town, or whatever.

    Thanks for the heads-up.

    All the best,

    Wendy

    I want to know about the most unlikely thru-hiker, such as the guy who started "southbound" with Emily on Springer Mt.(This one might have to wait until Katahdin).

    Rob took my first idea that I had (we must be related or something...) so my next question is What's been your favorite meal and/or snack so far - or if there hasn't been one, what would you like it to be?
