Has become comfortably numb...

3/26/08 - A late start to the day but got to sleep-in in a warm bed & had a warm cup of joe in the morning. (Wow, warm is a farily new concept!)

• Surprise! Ran into Naked Ron (yeah... that's the name he went with) and his girlfriend(?) at the bridge near the Pigeon & AT.
• 13.5 miles of great weather - climbed up 2 mtns. - Snowbird & Harmon Den
• Isaac hiked along with again today & got lost in the woods somewhere along the way! My understanding is that they'll pick back up at the base of Max Patch Mtn. tomorrow morning & say their goodbyes at the top... : (
• Attack of the killer gnats - got his 1st dose of warm weather complete with all of the "perks" (by perks I think I mean "pests") that come with.
• Medical Report: New blister under toe - weird spot. All of the feeling he regained in his big toes by walking around in Crocs last week is gone - they're numb again... I have a sneaking suspicion they'll go numb every time he dons a pair of sneakers for the rest of his adult life. Knees are holding up good!
