Friends and Family,
While hiking from Hanover, New Hampshire south to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia on the Appalachian Trail I have detoxed from one psychiatric medication completely and continue to detox from others. This has not been easy while facing freezing temperatures nearly every night and morning, but I made it.
I am still hiking to Georgia but I have decided to change direction, and to embark on the goal of a lifetime. In one week my hiking partner, David Kickit Ballard, and I will be taking a train to Miami, a bus to Key West and will begin our trek up the entire east coast. I aim to accomplish hiking the east coast in one year. There are many new obstacles we will face in Florida. Here is a preview of the first leg of the Florida Trail:
"Crossing the Big Cypress is both a physical and mental challenge. It is a hike best done with a group. Expect to average 1 MPH when wading through the swamp. It can be tough to scout blazes ahead of you when you are alone, and there are ankle-turning holes in the limestone bedrock and hidden logs beneath the swamp’s waters. It’s smart to use a hiking stick – a wooden one, not your extendable poles, which could snap and break in this environment – to feel the placement of your feet as you wade, since there are many underwater obstructions. Your feet will be wet for several days. Water may be as deep as waist-deep in places. Your tent will not dry out. Despite the water – where alligators look for the deep spots – this is the home of the Florida panther, the Florida black bear, and the Florida bobcat. Cottonmouths are common and should be treated with the utmost of respect. Python and anaconda sightings are possible, but more rare – dumped into the Everglades over the past two decades by irresponsible pet owners, these invasive snakes have exploded in population."
I am truly grateful to everyone that has supported me and believes in me. Thank you so much for your donations and words of inspiration. I look forward to updating you in the near future.
Any little bit of help with funding my humble self improvement and probably the most difficult and rewarding experience of my life would be appreciated, inspiring, and most certainly helpful beyond my words.
THANK YOU
Savannah Tuttle
