Just step on those little critters with your awesome footwear! Enjoy looking for your updates daily. it is cool to see your progress on the map, update it when you can.
careful with the sandals man. When I did the trail, my boots wore out in Connecticut. So i bought some new ones, and they made me blister all over cause I never broke them in. So I gave in to the siren song of teva sandals...It was a eureka moment...until Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania was such a rocky piece of trail, that the lack of ankle and ridge support eventually took its toll and I developed a stress fracture that wouldn't heal...I had to get off in the Shenandoahs and hitch to DC to get home. it wasn't until a year later that I was able to finish the last 800 miles.
All that to say...be careful my friend. Better off with some $20 walmart velcro shoes with a little support! Good luck!
Brian thanks for the advice. I remembered that had happened to you but didn't know where. I just might do that for the rocky parts of penn. I can't imagine having to get off trail after beating most of the northeast! Thanks again for the gift cards!
