Before heading off on the final three legs of my journey, I would be remiss if I didn’t extend a huge thanks to my good friends, Mike and Genna. It is through their kindness that I have a “home base” whilst here in the States. A place to receive mail, pack resupply boxes (Mike also sends them out)  and “fatten up” between hikes. Their hospitality has been amazing, and without them this series of long walks would have been infinitely more difficult. Thanks guys!
