we've now passed through 8 states and walked over 700 miles.
needless to say, our feet are a bit sore, but our spirits are still soar-ing!
that's virginia, west virginia, maryland, pennsylvania, new jersey, new york, connecticut, and now massachusetts. wowzers!
next comes vermont, new hampshire, then maine...before training/bussing/flying back down to the shenandoahs in virginia where we started and walking south with the beautiful colors and cooler temps. yippeeee!!
it's been amazing, difficult, awe-inspiring, maddening at times (we have mosquito wars every night after we've zipped into the tent...a kill only counts if you've got a body to show for it! ; ) )...and the experience of a lifetime. so much beauty and quietness, lyrical birdsong, big wild creature-eyes looking into our own...searching for the connection. laughter, love, and a deep appreciation for all that is wild and free. and we've met wondrous kind souls all along the way, so friendly, helpful...eager to hear of our adventures, and glad to share in our story. i'm so amazed sometimes that my legs (ripple speaking here) continue to carry me along so many steep climbs and rugged descents. i'm so grateful for this experience. immensely grateful.
too many pictures (and too slow of a computer) to load this way, so we'll put em on snapfish again. hope you enjoy looking and thanks for joining us on this adventure! love light and beauty to you all....
ripple and sabi
hope it works!!
Amazing pictures from a wonderful couple on an epic journey. Simply fantastic! I am somewhat concerned for your health in this crazy heat wave the nation is enduring, 100 plus temperatures and they are especially high in the East. I think on the weather report last night, I saw that it was 106 degrees in Boston! Take time to rest and cool off, even if it means taking a few days in a hotel/motel to replenish.

The pics look great, thanks for posting them. It's awesome to be able to follow you guys on your adventure. I must say the A/C here makes it bearable, but just. The one guy with the knee pads...he reminds me of Glen in a few years. Glad you guys are doing well. Call soon.
