New Friends and Inner Peace: Inspiring Week 13 on the Appalachian Trail

Hey everyone! Welcome to Week 13 of my Appalachian Trail adventure. This week was all about critters, meeting new people, and some serious introspection. I came across all sorts of trail critters that kept things interesting and wild. Along the way, I met some amazing new folks who shared their stories and made my journey even more special. I also took some time to reflect and gain new insights about this crazy adventure I'm on. Join me as I navigate the trail, make new friends, and soak in the beauty of nature. You won't want to miss this memorable week on the Appalachian Trail!

I’m so proud of you! You did it…you got one of the most iconic photos on the trail. McAfee knob! Also, you are truly the most amazing person I know. On the trail, or off the trail, you are amazing. I’m so glad you’re finding people to hike with. Oh, and I hope you got your raspberry milkshake. I miss you so much.

Such amazing pictures! Loved the slideshow at the end - my goodness, I would have been scared on that rock ledge reaching wayyyyy out! That spot is absolutely deserving of "most photographed". And happy belated birthday! You are a genuine spirit, and courageous! An emotional journey, no doubt....thank you for sharing your feelings and journey with us. It's been wonderful to follow along. -Cherie
