As I am off trail now, I should start moving my notes from Trail Journals onto this forum. I hope to continue examining my journey through grief and hope.
For those of you who are just jumping in, much of the story is told at www.trailjournals.com/emilysdad.
I left the Pacific Crest Trail in northern California, having hiked half the trail. My initial intention was to hike the full 2650 miles but loneliness conspired against me and I went 'off trail' a week ago. Now this writing continues the journey which began in November, 2006 when Emily died in Yosemite. It is a journey with many turns. I have no idea how it will turn out, or where it goes. I do know that since starting the PCT last May 1, I have found more strength and will .
I need to learn the mechanics of blogging, so I shall continue to write on the trailjournals site as well, then only here. Thank you.
I look forward to your comments.
