“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s OK. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”
-Anthony Bourdain
It’s official. We rolled in to Harpers Ferry today, the spiritual halfway point of the Appalachian Trail. (True halfway is about 75 miles beyond where we are.) We visited the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and had a good burger with a new friend. Guys, H A L F. W A Y. WE MADE IT HALFWAY. #halfwaythere #appalachiantrail #appalachiantrail2019 #atclassof2019 #harpersferry #trektheat #appalachiantrailconservancy
Yesterday, I hit the “emotional” or “spiritual” halfway point of the Appalachian Trail; Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. As cliche as it sounds, it seems like only a few days ago I was leaving from Amicalola State Park in Georgia, yet somehow I’ve lived a year’s-worth of experiences.
I feel extremely lucky to have made it this far, but I’m also immensely proud of myself for the literal and figurative mountains I’ve climbed to get here. This trail is a great teacher. Here’s to another three months in the woods
