Next week I will have a guest teacher as I take time off to go join my partner, Chad DeVoe, on his journey thru-hiking (which means attempting the whole 2,175 miles!) the Appalachian Trail. I will be meeting Mr. DeVoe down in Catawba (near Roanoke), Virginia, and will hike for 8 straight days shooting for 15-20 miles a day! I am taking my dog Koda with me and will try to post to this blog whenever I am able! So check back for updates! Also see Mr. DeVoe's blog.
