So, it's 2021 now that I'm finially publishing this post. I probably won't be able to do the story justice at this point so I'll start with a summary: I started out with Kevin, and he did the best he could - but unfortunately he injured his back the first day of hiking and had to get a ride home. I had to make a choice. I remember being torn because I had already taken the time off work, and I really wanted to do this section, but I had never hiked alone. I decided to go for it. Thing was, I wasn't hardly ever alone. I met so many wonderful people. They even gave me a trail name of "Bama" but only because I was the only person on the trail from Alabama. I have since denounced this trail name and decided I need new trail-mates to give me a proper one that's more based on my personality or some circumstance I get into. I made it all the way to Unicoi Gap. Since then I have dreamed of doing the next section, but life has gotten in the way. Anyways, hope y
