My last week or so...

sorry I haven't updated anything in a while. My GPS device was out of batteries, and I have had no phone service. my last week i have been moving pretty fast. into Smoky National Park i had an 11 mile day, followed by a 14ish mile day, followed by a 15.5ish mile day, followed by a 5 mile day, followed by an 18ish mile day out of Smokey National Park. i think the following day was like a 13 mileish day, and yesterday was the longest so far at right about 20 miles into town... and today is a 0 day... contemplating a 0 day tomorrow too, not sure yet. if i leave tomorrow it will be around noonish, and will probably be an 8 to 10 mile day... while in smoky national park i was blessed with the presence of brothers and sisters in faith :) we had some good conversations; that were quite uplifting and rejuvenating... besides that nothing else much has happened i guess... first day in the Smoky mountains i saw a young wild pig, that was kinda cool i wrekon. still waiting to see a bear; i want a picture... anyways i believe i have walked about 272 miles so far; making progress...haha 2000 more to go
