    That's awesome! Congrats on your longest hike! You don't have to do the entire AT at once to challenge yourself and celebrate success! Every hike in the woods is a reason to celebrate! I'm glad to see you back at it! It's obvious how much you love it!!! Good on ya sister!!!

    Yay! Way to go! If you keep incrementally pushing your limits, that's how you grow. My wife just finished her very first 13 mile day hike and she's eager to do more long day hikes (I'm carrying a pack for both of us). But we incrementally bumped up her miles. Each time she had serious doubts that she could do it, but she knocked it out of the park. You knocked this one out of the park Peaks. Go get some more. :)

      They both have their challenges! Night hiking was certainly interesting. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't been so exhausted!

      We haven't met them yet, unless they didn't give us their trail names. We met some SOBO hikers, but no NOBO's.
