For those not in the know, Scott Jurek is running the AT. He's doing about 50 miles a day. Day 16, he has almost caught us on day 72. I am hopefully going to get a picture of him flying by. This is Day 2 of Jurek Watch 2008 because there were rumours he might be by yesterday. Today I checked his face book and I think he'll be by early tomorrow. Here's to day 3! And it's Jurek watch 2008 because that sounds best in the announcer voice in my head.
In other news, we have adopted a puppy for the next day. A run away was following people up and down a mountain and nobody really wanted to be the next evil dirty hicker. We volunteered though and we ate planning to meet its owner at the end of our hike tomorrow. She is adorable and we would totally adopt her if dude didn't want her as a hunting dog. Poor thing is going to be neglected on some hicks farm for all her life.
The morning was another huge climb and at the top was a beautiful bald with wild strawberries. On the horizon was a scary lookin thunderstorm though so after a short picking session we had to run for cover. On the way down is where we met the pup. At the bottom of "The Priest" we meet Mr Quentin Davis and give her back. So sad.
