Virginia AT: Farewell for Now!

Annnd that’s a wrap! Sarah, who I’d met on the trail when she came out to support me four years ago, and I reunited. She joined me for my last day on the AT for now, a six mile jaunt with no pack which felt incredibly freeing. She snapped my pic in front of the ATC visitor center in Harpers Ferry, WV, the symbolic halfway point for thru-hikers, something I never got to do during my actual thru. While this journey didn’t turn out exactly as planned (let’s be real, how often do hikes go to plan?), I think I got exactly what I needed. Time with friends and family, time in my head, time in a place I love.❤️🌿
