Enjoy (somewhat) clean and (pretty much the opposite of) spacious rooms furnished in the latest fashions (of the early ... http://wyattmcguire.com/trail/blog/?p=64 Cheers to being a slacker and loving it. I had planned on doing 19 miles today, 12 miles, 2 hours of swimming and one italian restaurant later, here I sit, journaling away. I hiked the majority of my 12 miles with Samiam and Patch until we reached ... http://wyattmcguire.com/trail/blog/?p=63 Ar har har, back on the trail. Only 8.3 miles today from the PA border to tumbling run shelters. My friend Mandy hooked me up with a ride out of sweet home York to PenMar state park so I didn’t have to worry about parking and scheist like ... http://wyattmcguire.com/trail/blog/?p=62 The unusual cold has definitely not left. Only 8.2 miles today, and I planned on 20, but the cold and the rain had their own thing to say about that. I pulled into the Hightop hut on the verge of shivering and just planning to take a break.

As we all passed the Econo lodge, Seth turned in to hang out with Not Guilty and ... http://wyattmcguire.com/trail/blog/?p=60 Finally, finally back on the trail. Woke up on Mountain Man’s porch today, said my goodbyes to him and then packed up with Matt and Beth (Now Reeses and Predator). After yet again another stop in the post office, we were off on our way up to where ... http://wyattmcguire.com/trail/blog/?p=59 Trail Days has officially begun. Woke up this morning in the place, still didn’t sleep too well last night, but got enough sleep to be up and ready by 7:30 for some breakfast at Dairy King. After breakfast with August and Baseline the migration began. We knew ... http://wyattmcguire.com/trail/blog/?p=58 While hiking today, Imagine by John Lennon came on the radio. It’s kinda weird while you hike, you’re body has all of this blood flowing and your brain’s got to do something with it. My brain decided to take the song to heart and compare what Lennon’s singing ... http://wyattmcguire.com/trail/blog/?p=57 I’m really beginning to enjoy these long days. Woke up at somewhere around 8 something this morning. I’m beginning to worry that I actually am getting used to sleeping outside and that I sleep much better out there than inside. Anyway, woke up at around 8 or ... http://wyattmcguire.com/trail/blog/?p=56
