Mail from the Trail

I was thinking it may be fun to share a letter we received from Will today. The mail truck has brought 2 items from the trail this week.. The first was a box containing his down jacket and finger shoes. He switched over to crocs when he was in Damascus having the blister crisis. The second came to day and it looked like it almost didn't make it. Will sent an envelope with a letter and a camera media card inside a plastic case. The envelope was ripped in half with one half totally missing. The camera card and case was in tack. I am waiting til Rex gets home to check the pictures. It looks ok.

So here's the letter:

Dear Family,
I hope all is well on the home front. The changing of seasons is probably the coolest part of hiking out here. You literally wake up to greener woods than you went to sleep in. on the camera card you will notice the change, I just wish you could get the same feeling I get when I take these beautiful shots. We are supposed to be getting nasty weather this weekend so I'll have to really try to stay dry. My feet still need some healing but I think sometimes that they forget who is in charge in this relationship. They should just do what they are told. Hey I love and miss yal everyday and I hate I can't mow the grass for yal this summer.
Love,
Darkstar AT 2010

The weather he mention was last weekend and I think he was pretty wet and cold. I am glad to see that his sense of humor hasn't changes. I will try to get those pics posted soon.
