104.1 down, 2082.5 to go
It rained all day. We stopped at Wilson Valley Lean To from rain and decided to spend the night, after only nine miles in for the day. We will get an early start into Monson. We only have 10.4 left in the wilderness! NotYet fell on a rock and slid and landed on his elbow, but he is okay. Our backpacks are lifesavers!
We chatted with a couple today from Kentucky, who are celebrating their 40th year as newlyweds! (How sweet!) Their accents were so thick I had to have NotYet translate.
Today, we realize more than ever that this experience is what we make of it. We will have plenty of rainy days, especially this fall. It's how we think about them that matters.

We love your comments about how you are facing the trials and joys of the AT. I see a lot of good material here that will probably strengthen your marriage in the years to come. And makes for some pretty good devotional material, too! Keep up the good writing.
