Kevin's AT Thru Hike

Day 113, Thursday, 7/7 – I started my morning with a couple cups of coffee sitting at the island in the kitchen. Connor and Angie made up some smoothies and avocado toast for breakfast. We then spent the rest of the morning lounging around. We ran some errands during the afternoon, and I completed my…

Day 112, Wednesday, 7/6 – I woke up and went into the kitchen. Connor’s roommate, Josh, was getting ready for work and had brewed up a pot of coffee. I drank a cup and chatted with him for a bit. I had actually already met Josh a year ago at a music festival in Pennsylvania.…

Day 111, Tuesday, 7/5 – I went to sleep last night without setting up the tarp. I was essentially gambling that it wouldn’t rain overnight. I woke up at 5:45am to an overcast sky, but I was dry. I packed up and was hiking by 6:30am. I hiked alone again, and hardly saw anyone on…

Day 110, Monday, 7/4 – I woke up at 1am, and didn’t feel like I slept well. I tossed and turned for the rest of the night. I finally woke up, checked my phone, and it was 7:00am already. I was surprised I slept in, all things considered. I packed up and was hiking by…

Day 109, Sunday, 7/3 – I woke up early this morning and was packed up by 6:30am. The pizza shop was next to a deli, so I had planned on stopping in for some breakfast and a hot coffee. Because it was a holiday weekend, they weren’t going to be open for another half hour.…

Day 108, Saturday, 7/2 – It was raining when I woke up, so I took it slow and caught up on the blog. The rain stopped around 9 which is around the time I started to hike. Even with the rain overnight, it was crazy hot. I really don’t do well hiking in the heat.…

Day 107, Friday, 7/1 – I woke up around 9:00am and was the first one up. I decided to hike out today even though everyone else was taking another zero. I’m meeting up with one of my best buds in Connecticut, so it makes sense for me to get a head start out of New…

Day 106, Thursday, 6/30 – I started my morning by taking the subway down to Bryant Park to meet with my cousin Katherine! She treated me to coffee & a bagel with lox. We chatted for a while, it’s always nice catching up with family. I walked from Bryant Park to Union Square. I love…

Day 105, Wednesday, 6/29 – We all slept in and cooked up pancakes and bacon for breakfast this morning. Even after a zero, my feet were still very sore. Broadway, Genie, Splitzy, Didgeridoo, Birthday, and I went to a Korean spa. We took the subway over to Queens and went to Spa Castle. I’ve never…

Day 104, Tuesday, 6/28 – I slept in this morning, and I needed it. The past few days of hiking took it out of me. Broadway had bought breakfast ingredients for us, and started cooking pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs. I was on bacon duty. After breakfast, we essentially turned Broadway’s apartment into an indoor…
