Oh let me be yo teddy bear

Back from the Appalachian Trail in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. 106 miles in 7.5 days. Tough fun. Saw 5 black bears, including two cubs like the one above. Trip was an emotional and physical roller coaster. Details and photos forthcoming.

And, on the drive back home yesterday, I think I met Elvis. Really. Will supply details of this surreal encounter with one of the kindest, friendliest humans I have ever met.

Thanks, Scarface. It was a great trip with a tough and patient hiking companion. I've missed my herd.
