Appalachian Trail - Week 8

I'm still lagging way behind Michele on the virtual Appalachian Trail hike.

I'm so far behind the map doesn't even print the rest area names. Now that Michele's back from her Utah hike, I hope the humid temperatures of Missouri will keep her indoors for awhile giving me a chance to catch up a bit.

I did earn another patch.

And Fitbit told me I earned the Monarch Migration badge. I believe they use these patches and badges as carrots to dangle in front of you to keep you walking. I sure hope there's a compass in these shopping bags or the trail is marked appropriately or I could be spending the winter lost on the Appalachian Trail.
