Greetings followers of Red Bull! Red Bull is doing well, but is off the trail for his sister's wedding on the other side of the country! Just in time with the temperatures staying steady in the upper 90's-100 at his trail location! He said many of the water sources they crossed, had dried into dust.
He did hike through Harper's Ferry and into Pennsylvania, passing the half way point of the trail... over 1,000 miles! In Pennsylvania he faced the infamous "half gallon challenge" and consumed an entire half gallon of ice cream (and kept it down)! Reward... a mini wooden ice cream scoop! This is a challenge very famous on the Appalachian Trail, and something the hikers look forward to just after their half way point!
His name has been changed by his fellow hikers... he is now Red Bull son of Rambo. He picked up an Appalachian Trail bandanna that he wears around his head to catch sweat, in a Rambo style. Funny... his father now bears the titles of Rambo and the Avatar... interesting combination?
I apologize for not keeping this updated recently... life has been hectic! After the wedding I will post the dates and locations of Red Bull on the trail before the wedding vacation. He will be back on the trail next week!
Happy Trails!
