Hey there all. I have reached Neels Gap, the spot where apparently 25% of all thru-hikers quit. Consider me at least in the 25th percentile. I've met quite a few people on the trail, everyday meeting about three thru hikers. I'm a little out of it, I spent all last night yelling at bears and didn't sleep from 1 30 till 6 this morning. It was raining too making it difficult to ascertain what was making what noise. So far the trail has been beautiful. I am spending my first few days taking it easy starting with four hours of hiking on the first day and adding an hour a day. Its giving me lots of time to philosophize. I am trying to keep an open mind and strict regimen of a shot of wild turkey, a poem from the Tao and 2 chapters of the New Testament. Its a lovely blend and usually leads to a very restive nap. Y'all take care out there, and I'll be writing to you soon.
