After several months off the trail I finally got around to sorting through all of my photos and compiling my GPS data and notes from the trip. Below is a gallery of my favorite images, a record of my campsites, my gear lists, and a tally sheet of various events. Thanks for following along!

Weight Lost Despite Frequent Pizzas, Burgers, BBQ, and 2.8 lbs of M&Ms: ~12 lbs (If I can be serious for a moment, weight loss on the trail is pretty extreme and can be unhealthy. If anyone is considering long distance hiking make sure to plan your food properly.)

A Google Maps record of all of my campsites:

I took hundreds of photos on the trail, but I've never claimed to be a great photographer and most were pretty unremarkable. Here's a gallery of the ones I thought came out pretty decent.

And for the gear obsessed here is a full breakdown of the two primary gear sets I carried (click to enlarge). The first accommodated the pup and my writing habit, the second was a much lighter set I switched into after he stopped hiking with me. I've broken both of them down in the image below but if you want an even more detailed breakdown I have the full lists with weights for the dog set here and the lighter set here.

Thanks again everyone! Until the next adventure, happy trails!
