Meeting you guys on trail multiple times will always be a special memory. In April I thought “no way”! In May I thought “how are they doing this”. In June I thought “they are really doing this”. That’s when I started following your posts and began to grasp just how special you all are. Finally, the best memory of all was the chance encounter in the Shenandoah Mountains last month. To spend a few moments on trail as you neared the finish line and personally witness the child-to-adult growth of your three little boys was beyond amazing!
This hike may be done, but their journey is just a beginning.
Congratulations and I have been blessed to have found your Substack and followed part of your journey! Many many blessings to all of you. Many thanks for your willingness to share.
Yippee, you did it -- and in great style, too. Such beautiful pictures and wonderfully descriptive words. I was serious in an earlier post. This should be a movie.
Just thinking. Why not let each boy select x number of the million pictures you took so that each of them can have book they can share with friends. I'm sure each one has favorites. (I know I do!)
Please continue writing. I will miss you so if you don’t.
Congratulations! What a journey you've been on. It's been a pleasure to travel along with you, reading all about your adventures and struggles. I hope to see you again some day, please reach out if you find yourself in the area of Western NJ. Looking forward to hearing all about your next adventures...
What a read. You are a gifted writer. I felt your words that painted perfect pictures along the way. I just can’t express enough how proud I am of you all. Wiping happy tears from my face as I read through your experience has been such a joy. Thanks for taking us along with you through these entries! Love you all so much!
I feel very lucky to have met you all at the start of your journey, at Deer Lick Shelter- and to have been able to track your progress online. Congrats to all of you, especially the boys! It has been an inspiring trip, and one that I am intending to emulate in the ‘25 season. Safe travels to you all - and good luck in your future adventures.

I hiked Georgia with my disabled son this summer and it is something that tethers you together forever.
