I'm a-leavin' town for sure, well, then you wont be bothered with my hangin roun' your door

3/9/2011

 
Low 16, High 36. .9" Rain. 

My Last Post, Then I'm hiking down!! 

It's raining sideways, and a slushy mess. 

I'll be sending out emails with pictures and commentary from my hike starting in 13 days, if you are interested just 
send me an email at: [email protected]

I've enjoyed y'alls banter back and forth, and a special thanks to those of you that hiked up fresh veggies, books, newspapers, etc. this winter. 

I didn't take any pictures yesterday, but will end with my personal favorite from the winter, cause of it's alien-frost-planet-likeness.

Thanks and Take Care Everyone,
Go outside and Enjoy the spring,
-Alexander

Just a quick note of thanks for all your posts this past winter. I have enjoyed your comments and images immensely and have lived vicariously through your posts. It has been a bright point each day to check in and discover what is new on the blog.

Good luck on your hike in Europe! Have fun and keep your stuff under your eyes or under the eyes of a trusted companion when traveling on the trains! (been there, had that done to me a long time ago!)

Can't say anything that hasn't been said already. Safe travels Alex, thanks for everything this winter, and can't wait for your emails from the next big adventure.

As for the rest of you, I can only hope that I am lucky enough to meet any of you crazy folks when I hike up this summer for my first (and definitely not last) time.
