Gilligan on the AT Revisited: 24-Jun-1993

This is a 5-month long series of blog posts that are the entries in my journals written on most evenings as I hiked the Appalachian Trail in 1993. The journal entry appears first — indented — and then any additional commentary from my 15-years-removed perspective follows.

6/24/93 - Thu.

What a day! We covered 12 miles out to the highway near Bastian shortly after 11:00 this morning, and Julie was driving up the road to hike in and meet us and hike, so the timing was perfect (for us — Julie had wanted to hike some with us).

(Aborted entry — finally got through to Dad — I’ll finish it some other time)
