I'm 59 and I am realizing that I may not have won the genetic lottery.

It was hard to read that things didn't work out for this years attempt to finish the AT, and even harder to hear you say 'that was it'. There are some good options closer to home for you that would let you keep on with backcountry hiking. One I'd recommend is the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness in the western U.P. of Michigan. The mountains are doable hills, the scenery and solitude is grand, and the hiking community is kind and supportive. I am 67 yr of age and will be doing another trip there in a few weeks. I'll be using the backcountry cabins this time, as these old bones are tired of sleeping on the ground. Check it out.

I was always the kind who cheated on Choose Your Own Adventure books, reading all the possibilities.<br /><br />Your adventure was Epic. I capitalized that on purpose. EPIC. Do you know how many miles it is from the Shire the Mordor? 1779 if you follow Frodo and Sam’s trail, and you surpassed that. You destroyed the Ring, saved the world and were already well on your way back home. EPIC<br /><br />I’m glad you’ve found some peace in the choice. The AT isn’t about finishing, it’s about self-discovery, and self-acceptance, and exploration. You saw amazing views, pushed against your limits and discovered you are capable of amazing things. You also learned the value of friendship, your relation with your wife, and the joy of hugs and hand holding. Sometimes we need to put ourselves in an extreme situation to really see what we find meaningful in life. I think you did a wonderful job accomplishing that. <br /><br />Autumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416826132665783123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593970477444543007.post-23177228287175481012019-10-25T14:23:54.598-05:002019-10-25T14:23:54.598-05:00You're welcome.
