Red Bull came home from his sister's wedding on Monday, traveled to see an older brother in New Jersey on Tuesday, took Wednesday off to reorganize, and headed back onto the trail this morning!
We dropped him off right where we picked him up almost 2 weeks ago, on Whiskey Springs Road near Boiling Springs Pennsylvania. He had debated having us drop him off with his group, currently 162 miles ahead of him on the trail. He would then finish the trail with them, and later go back to hike the section he missed. He has decided he would prefer to continue with his thru hike, and not jump ahead. He believes he will catch his group in about a month. We feel he will meet new friends along the way.
The offer still stands for us to transport him ahead to join his group at any time. We are glad to see him being independent. He is also making plans to do a cross country road trip, to visit all the National Parks in America. He would need to finish his hike, earn enough money to buy a car and finance the trip, etc... He actually asked his sister who is a senior in high school, if she would like to join him for his road trip. He is a remarkable young man, and we are very pleased with his ability to make and reach worthy goals.
Happy Trails Red Bull! Happy Trails!
