I love trail festivals. Hikers hitch in from up and down the trail so I got to see lots of faces I hadn’t seen in a while. I got to connect with a couple of my sponsors (shout out to Gregory and Vasque!) and check out gear from many other vendors. And then there’s the free stuff! I have to mail a box home, I got so much.
It rained on and off all weekend but everyone still participated in the raffles and games. I am happy to be back among my hiker family, and I get back on the trail tomorrow.

So glad to see you back out on the trail! You know what to do if you have doubles of any free stuff…wink wink. 🙂
I love seeing your journey, it is so epic to be able to see the beauty that the Earliest has to offer, thank you very much for sharing it, be safe.
So happy to see you feeling better, Kris. You are certainly in a beautiful part of the country. Thanks for sharing this adventure with those of us who are too old to do it ourselves.
Love, Aunt Susan
Looks like so much fun!
