Goodbye VA and WV, hello Maryland!


Hey everyone! We are back on the Trail after some much needed R&R for Jordan's birthday celebration and what an exciting few days it's been. In the span of the past week we've hit 1,000 miles, gotten our picture taken at the ATC in Harper's Ferry, and managed to make it in AND out of West Virginia. (okay, so it's only like 15 miles through the state, but still!) West Virginia wasn't the only thing we said goodbye to yesterday....the pinky toenail on my left foot finally called it quits. It was iffy there for awhile, but she just couldn't hang on.

The wildlife has been amazing since we hopped back on the trail; deer, rabbits, and butterflies are everywhere! It's no wonder really, with it being such a beautiful and green environment along the Trail. We've been finding plenty of streams and rivers along the way to stay hydrated, but apparently it's some pretty dry territory here within the next week or so, so that is something we'll have to be extra careful about, especially in this heat.

It was amazing to reach 1,000 miles, although what we're super excited about is the official halfway point, which is in Pennsylvania. Don't worry, we'll get there soon!
