The further shuttle appalachian

my brother finished his thru the other day on mcafee knob !! on his way home he decided to come and chill at the pad for the night. we met miles seven or so months ago and stayed in contact with him as he busted off miles. what a treat to have him at the house. we have definitely enjoyed hanging out, eating good food, and having good conversation. the trail is a magical place and once again the magic has struck again and gifted us a new friendship. stay kind. peace and safe travels the grateful hiker was spotted at the ballardstead.... haha. miles a foote... the thru hiker... congrats
