Today Red Bull and his group hiked to the Loft Mountain Campground, mile 888.1 on the A.T.. It is at an elevation of 3,259 feet. They hiked a little over 19 miles today.
I keep thinking of him wearing those fairly new hiking shoes. He sent them home once before because they were hurting his feet. His hiking boots were falling apart, so he switched to his shoes. He told me he took the insoles out, and that helped. They say a hiker's foot can increase a full size while hiking the Appalachia Trail. He is quickly approaching the half way mark, and I believe the hiking shoes that fit well when he purchased them are now a bit too tight. I guesstimate his foot is a half size larger than when he began his hike?
No other news. I know he is making plans for when he arrives in Harper's Ferry, W.Va.. His group would like to take a trip into D.C.. Harper's Ferry is the headquarters of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, and the unofficial halfway point of the trail.
