A Descent into Madness & Thru-Hiking


300 Miles (Day 30)

3/16/2023 Thursday

Well, the crabbiness passed in the night. In the morning something in me softened—I think it happened when I helped Hide reacquire a piece of gear. Hide wasn’t there at the shelter; I helped by passing on a message—long story.

  1. I appreciate your “realness” Doug. Makes your blog more interesting. Glad you had some good company today. In case you were wondering, some key Board members are coming out in support of our position, so I’m very relieved. Stay warm and enjoy the short hike tomorrow.

  2. The stegosaurus character definitely embodies that new ridge trail there (although I would hear it in my head as an antagonistic and annoying voice haha), I remember it was a brutal one… I would have taken the bad weather route too.

About The Blog

I’m Doug Cloud, an inveterate thru-hiker, believer in The One Trail, writer, rhetorician, researcher. This blog catalogs my journeys, particularly my 2023 1500-mile hike on the Appalachian and Colorado Trails. Other journeys may be added. Or not. I go by several mottoes as a thru-hiker:

1. Work the problem.
2. Throw money at the problem.
3. Go for an FKT (funnest known time).
4. ABC (always be thru-hiking).

Subscribe so you don’t miss future journeys! I’m gonna be writing on this thing for, like, 50 years.
