...because I have to accept the fact that I will not be able to hike in 2007 like i wanted to. I am very upset, and have been trying to keep up my hope, but it is not possible with my current situation. Hopefully I will be able to sooner rather than later, because I still know I will be a thru-hiker one day.
I wanted to tell everyone out there to have a safe and fun hike, and though I never met anyone, I will miss you. I hope to live near the trail after I finish college (3 weeks - yay!). So, I hope to meet you during your trips. If I do end up on near the trail, I will let everyone know so I will be able to help anyway possible.
Best of luck!!
