If you enjoyed the trail, it stays in your mind, in memories, in pictures. It stays with me in the sense that I appreciate the simple things; I understand what the basics mean. I’m like everybody else. I get caught up in the wants and the haves. But I still know I can revert to staring into a candle or a fire and going back to any given point on the trail and refocus on what it meant. I still think about the trail every day, 365 days a year.”
