Looking at my handwriting last night, that's hilarious. I fell asleep while trying to think of stuff to write, so when I woke up, I just bull-charged through it.
Well, said goodbye to Freeman this morning. Turns out he's decided to continue north on the Long Trail, rather than turn east toward Katahdin. He said he'd been thinking it over for awhile, but the ridgerunner at Cooper Lodge talked him into it. He was a cool guy (Freeman I mean).
Ok, some cool definitions:
Blue blaze: verb, when you "blue blaze", you get off the AT and follow a side trail until it comes back to the AT. Often, side trails are marked with blue blazes, and often you take a blue blaze as a shortcut.
Yellow blaze: verb, when you "yellow blaze", you get off the AT and get into a motor vehicle, entirely skipping a section of trail. Supposedly, it's called yellow blazing because you're following the double yellow lines.
Aqua blaze: verb, when you "aqua blaze", you get off the AT and get into a boat of some type (usually a canoe or kayak) and skip a section of trail by water. Some people (Ganj & Robin, for example) aqua blazed via canoe on the Shenandoah River. Evil devils.
