A walk in the woods


Airplane
pg. 160-190
Bill and Katz's first part of their hike is almost over. Bills family met him at a hotel in the nearest town. They wore clean clothes and were clean again. It felt great to them. Katz was put on a plane and flew back home. Bill could not sit still. He had to keep walking everywhere he went. "You don't hike the Appalachian Trail and then go home and cut the grass." He wanted to walk the Harpers Ferry. Which was the headquarters of the Appalachian Trail Conference.

Bill Drove up to Pennsylvania to check out the AT there. He has heard it was bad. It really was when he got there too. But the AT side trails were very good. They went around lakes and beautiful nature spots. He was hiking this part of the trail, just because he could, and he was thinking that he actually missed Katz for once. It was different without him there. While on this part of the AT, Bill has a run in with a big mature white tail deer.  It didn't do anything though. Just stopped and looked, and wandered on its way. Bill was kind of nervous. It looked real intimidating and thought it might attack.

The whole time that Bill is walking, he is thinking to himself that if he really wanted to, he could quit at any time. He had nobody with him. But he enjoyed walking so much that he continued on.

Bill Tried to hike Pennsylvania with a car, but it didn't really work out. He drove 350 miles to get there, spent four days there, and barely walked 11 strait through miles. It was the last time he would hike with a car.
