After enjoying a short break in New York City, I headed off on another big trip but as part of a family of four this time around. Our trip took us to Shanghai, China for final weeks of the 2010 World Expo and included stops in Beijing and Xi'an as well. China was amazing but it was a very urban adventure that contrasted well with my AT experience. For those dedicated hikers out there, once you finish the Triple Crown in the United States (Appalachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail, Pacific Crest Trail), the Great Wall of China stretches 5,500 miles and is waiting to be conquered... Good luck!
I am working on a video slide show of my whole AT experience, so stay tuned for one last post. Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement along the way!
