Going Home

This event happened back in June. As you can tell from the post above my sister graduated high school back in June. So I decided to go home and attend.
Now going home was an interesting experience. I've gotten off the trail before to go into town and such but the furthest I've ever gone off the trail is 16 miles and every time I did get off the trail was always trail related in some way or the other. But this time I was going about 100 miles off trail. It just felt weird after spending so much time on the trail to be going so far away.
But going home did feel good also. It was nice just to be in that home setting again. I got to sleep in my own bed, got to see my turtle and got to see a few friends as well. Now I'm sorry I didn't make my visit home vast public knowledge but I figured the more people who knew I was coming home, the people I would have to see and the harder it would be to get back on the trail.
But it was also nice to see Sarah's graduation. Actually she had no idea I was coming so when I showed up at home it was a complete surprise for her, which was really cool.
But unfortunately my visit home would have some negative side effects.
