My mom and dad are here! Got a hitch from the campground into town this morning and waited at the laundromat for them to arrive. Spent a very short day getting groceries, eating lunch and dinner, running to the outfitter, and getting my mom’s pack ready for her week-long adventure with me on the trail. How many moms choose to vacation by hiking the AT for a week, not to mention starting out on Mother’s Day? Only those as super cool as my mom, that’s for sure! Great to see them both, even though my time with dad was so short and hurried. But, we’ll do it all over again next weekend! Too bad every day on the trail can’t end with a nice hotel bed.
