Gotta crawl before you walk TB...
Post trail update. Its been about a month since I've been off the trail. I'm on a trail crew doing the heavy maintenance out in the back country for 8 day stretches. Its free food, a free place to sleep between hitches and hanging with other hikers. I kick it around my fathers when I got nothing going on. Resting up, gorging myself with food and trying to stay in shape. I still have no bed, just the back of my truck(which is actually really nice) and a cot to sleep on at my fathers in the basement.
I got offered my old desk job back as a programmer and turned it down, I just couldn't do it. Spending 40 hours a week sedentary at a desk felt way to unhealthy physically and mentally.
