Day 79, August 2, 2014

Mom and I hiked 14 AT miles, and 14.5 total miles. She did amazing and we completed in 7 hours. The weather was nice, but we thought it was going to pour rain before we started. Also, a big shout out to the local shuttle for AT hikers. Mr. Mike Dalton shuttled us yesterday and today free of charge. He would not take our money. There are still amazing people out there. If you aren't encountering them come out and hike some on the AT. The community is heartwarming. 

Slackpacked again today and it was great. Slackpacking is basically only caring a daypack with stuff for the day.

We had salad, linguini Alfredo, fresh mozzarella, amazing bread my grandpa gave my mother and I had a wild caught salmon steak. We made it all on my camp stove. 

Planning is exhausting and prepping out of a car is throwing me off. My organization seems slightly off. However, I am so grateful to have time with my mother and my backpack is ready for the north. I inventoried all my winter gear and will be ready to receive it I'm Hanover, New Hampshire. Thanks again mom for bringing all the supplies and food for my trip from home. I have been able to visualize what's left and prepare for my remaining AT thru hike.
