Well if you're like me you've been waiting for Ann's next post. Evidently Ann is having problems finding an internet connection right now so I'm doing a guest post for her based on information she relayed through our mother!
I'm Ann's brother Andy.
Ann is well underway! She made a short phone call from the top of Springer Mtn the other day and was planning to post an update from Neels Gap but couldn't find a connected computer!
The weather has been fantastic and the flowers have been beautiful! There have been lots of wonderful people on the trail. Ann is the 1197th through hiker on the AT this year since March 1st (that's incredible).
Ann ran into a fun group of folks that shared some lentil soup. While Ann is not typically a lentil soup fan, she tried this soup and thought it was great! They also had chocolate chip cookies which they shared. Seems like Ann is getting along just fine with the other people on the trail!
Ann is planning to be in Dicks Creek Gap by the end of the week. She'll resupply there and spend the night so we can look forward to an update (hopefully!) at that time. She's been taking lots of pictures and maybe she'll treat us to a bunch of those as well!
What else, what else, oh .... our sister Sara is sending Ann some Salmon Packets. Thanks Sara! I'll bet Ann is going to enjoy the salmon.
It sounds like there's been a different amount of moisture this spring so allergies are bad and Ann is suffering with those. She has some medication to help with allergies. Good planning Ann!
Ann is expecting some rain tomorrow but after the fantastic weather she's reported, maybe the rain won't be too bad.
Finally, it seems that Ann is just snacking when she gets up and moving in the morning and walks for about 2 hours and then takes a break for breakfast. That sounds like a great pattern.
Ann, we're looking forward to hearing from you when you can post but please feed info through Mom when you can and I'll be glad to help spread the info around..... pictures too!
Thanks Andy. Sounds like she is conquering the AT like everything else she conquers - well planned and organized. Can't wait for photos.
