1017 Miles.

We've made it to Harpers Ferry - the unofficial (because it's still another 75 miles to the actual) halfway point!  At a very quick glance, these are a couple photos I like.  Enjoy!



An owl!  Yogi saw it fly by, then he sat and posed forever!

Red Spotted Newt.

We get a lot of fog.  I miss the fog now that it's so hot!

Today!  (99 degrees and a heat index of 115! Dang!)

630 Miles.

I just wanted to do a quick check in, since we are taking a lazy day (ie sitting in an air conditioned room watching TV all day!) in Pearisburg, VA.  We are still having a wonderful time and for the most part are really healthy.  We just have stiff and swollen feet - but I guess that would be expected after walked 630 miles. 

So far we have seen 5 mice, 14 snakes, 15 deer, 5 bears, 14 lizards, 2 turtles, 1 turkey, 10 salamanders, 18 toad/frogs, 5 rabbits, 20 chipmunks, 8 squirrels (you would think that one would be higher - but they aren't as abundant in the woods as they are in the city), 16 newts and wild ponies! 

We've had 12 showers and done laundry 4 times (in 2 months - we smell bad!).  I've fallen 7 times (and the last one was a doozy - the rest were barely even worth mentioning) and Yogi has fallen 2 times (and once was because he took a short cut so he rolled down a hill).   I usually win in Paper, Rock, Scissors (7 vs. 2).

Us at Beauty Spot.  Sorry it's not a better photo but it's the quickest one I could find that included both of us!

Every day in an adventure that is exciting to get up, pack up our home and keep moving.
