Just returned from section hike from Springer Mtn. to Neels Gap with myself and my twin 15 y.o boys. As we started our hike toward the beginning of the A.T from USFS 42 they were ahead of me. The anticipation of starting had them ahead of me which was unusual. It came very apparent to me that the day of them following me were close to over in respect of hiking. I could'nt help but think of them following me all their lives with me impatiently urging them to just try to keep up. Now I realize that all along they were passing me in life and that they would carry me someday. Instead of impatience with them I really appreciate the fact that I have this time with them in Gods country. We finished our hike just as we planned and are looking forward to picking up where we left off very soon. (Thanks to Lumpy for the ride)
