I Made It! A Job Done Well!!!

I just wanted to do a quick update and proudly say that I completed the JMT.  I have been home about a week and will slowly start to transcribe by journal to share with you all.  Overall I have to say that the journey lived up to all my expectations. The JMT is a trail of grand views.  I am afraid that the pictures I took will not do it any justice, but I will post them soon as well.

I would like to give a big thanks to all of the JMT Yahoo! Group and JMT Facebook members, who provided great advice prior yo my departure.  I hope I can return to the favors and advice to others in the future. I would also like to thank all the other hikers I met out there who not only provided some friendship, companionship and inspiration when I needed it:

  • Don and Karen - my first JMT "friends"
  • Feona - hope your trip went great, and you are feeling good.
  • James and Zohar from Jersey - thanks for inspiring me on those days when I really needed.  I hope Vegas rocked.  Next time ... Colorado- the door is always open!
  • James and Avery - my Colorado buddies - Vail Rules! 
  • Lee and Bob -Sorry Bob I did not get to fish Guitar.  I'll save that one for next time. Lee I can't wait to read the stories.
  • Chris - we teachers must stay united!  Best wishes on the upcoming marriage.
  • Patrick and Carter - best of luck in France
  • Ruby - a jewel by any other name as well.

Stay tuned for the story of the entire journey:
