It feel so good to rest up a day. I am feeling much better. I just have a great lunch and hope to have a better dinner. Tomorrow morning I am going to start the hike good and early (4:30am). I am hoping to go 20 miles to the next shelter and I will be meeting my mom and dad on the 21st.

Well today I am taking a zero day. Trying to let my body rest. Then tomorrow I am going to push south again. I am staying at a hostel in Monson. It is going to be a good day.

My next mail drop looks like in will be on the 7-22-2011.

If you where planning on mailing to any thing, ship it to the address to low just get it there 1 or 2 days before the 22rd:

Roger Greer

Note: it has to be Roger Greer not Trey Greer….!!!!

Thanks everyone!!!

Well it had been six days on the trail to far and I am in Monson, ME. Today I hiked 19 miles to town. The trail was very rocky and hard but I push through to town. About 11 miles into the hike. I took a fall and cut my finger opening. It was fun!!! Then I hiked the other 8 miles into town and got a ride with a man to the ER of Greenville, Maine. I am now in Monson again. And I am going to take a zero day tomorrow here and plan on pushing south again on the 20th. The trail is testing me but I am going to fight it. South I go!!!! Let all just hope I do not lost that little spark!!

Here are some of the pic for the first week.

Well the other day I walk to the Jo-Mary Road and meet my family. I found my self thinking about stoping the hike. But Mom and Dad made me keep going.

Which now I am a little glad I hiked on South a little more. I talked to a Northbound Thru Hiker and he told me if you feel like quitting hike one more week before to stop the the hike and see what you feel like then. So I think I will try that idea.

I love hiking but I feel like I am missing a drive to keep going. I do not really know what to do.

I need a drive!!!

I am in Monson, ME now taking a zero day.

If you have any ideas you can email me at treygr@georgiatomainenews.com

Thanks,
Trey

Ok to today was the hardest day so far I walk 24 mile over the rockiness trail in the world. My feet are in pain and I can not wait to get to Monson, ME tomorrow. I am still thinking about stopping the hike. It is very hard hiking in the woods with no one to talk too. I still am looking for a drive to go on. We see what happens in Monson.

Well today made great time. I am know a day ahead on schedule and I am hoping to be in Manson, ME late on the 18th or early on the 19th. I have follow that I hike to fast to just go 10 miles a day. I have been averaging about 3 miles an hour. So due to that I am picking put the sleep.

Tonight I am staying at Logan Spring Shelter which is about half way up White Cap Mtn. Tomorrow I hoe to hike about 25 miles to the 2nd shelter down the trail.

As far as my pack goes I cut some weight today when I met my family at Jo-Mary Road. I think the pack is down to under 20 with out food. If you add the food for this week and I think I am carrying about a 25 to 30 pound back.

Today was a great day, good hiking, and not to many rock. Last night I had a good time talking to a north hiking and three others. Today I hike around 11 miles and had a great time. I hike an extra 3 mile to a place that had ham burgers and ate a pound burger in seconds. Then I found a little cell service and upload the the updates form day one and day two. After hike on passed the burger, I run into a BIG moose and it was not happy. I mad a lot of noise and hiking on look back on the trail a lot. To night I hiked to Potatwadjo Spring Shelter. I have stopes here for now but I am thinking about hiking to the next camp site down the trail. I will be meaning Mom and Dad at Jo-Mary Road tomorrow morning at 11:00am. I am looking forward to seeing them.

Tell Next Time,
Trey
