We’re doing pretty well now, about a week since we summitted. Lots of rest helped our feet and ankles, and a lot more rest is surely in order to heal our knees fully.
As for advice, we’re full of it, but it’s so much better to just go try out a bunch of stuff and see what works for you. Spider’s big tip is pack lightly; I would add to listen to your body and rest when you need to.
Conratulations, your courage and tenacity is commendable. I know the struggle was far worse than your postings ever conveyed. I am really really glad to see you at the summit. Thanks for the close up of the sign. May God be with you on all your adventures.

Congratulations. How beat up are you physically? You said you were both having ankle and knee problems. Any suggestions for future AT hikers?

A very jealous fellow hiker.
