I'm currently in Houston with work, but spent some time uploading photos from the duration of my hike. After going through some 4,000 photos from my dSLR camera memory cards, I spent quite a while editing them and uploading them across social medias. The last step was to do some work to this website adding in new pages and breaking up the photos into albums. The 800 photos were broken into four separate parts, which are selectable by clicking the "Photos" link at the top of each page. I'll be going through them all over the next few days and captioning them, which as you might imagine is a laborious task. You can scroll through the thumbnails, then click individual photos to enlarge them and view the captions. I hope they meet your expectations... I promise the quality is better than that of my iPhone that you've been seeing photos from for the last few months!
Also, per the request of a few readers (most of whom it seemed were interested in hiking the trail next year) I've gone back over the Gear pages and talked more about what worked for me and what didn't. I'll spend some more time writing in those pages in the upcoming weeks, but for now I actually have caught up to date with what equipment made it through the trail... I apologize that the list was pre-hike until this point and wasn't accurately reflecting what I had with me. My hope is to keep this site live on the web for future hikers and enthusiasts alike to find information on while they're researching any hiking adventures they might be interested in. As always, if there's something you'd be interested in getting out of the site, let me know. I'd also be happy to answer a FAQ kind of thing if people wrote in with questions.
I hope everything is going well with all of you. Though I didn't expect that I would, I've certainly been missing the trail a bit lately. It's strange how quickly one gets back in the swing of the real world... I've been living vicariously through the photos of other hikers on Facebook and Instagram. What an amazing adventure I had, eh?
Onwards & upwards.
