Decision
Sometimes I wish I lived in a vacuum with no one to worry about but myself. Since I don't live in a vacuum alone I'm faced with an important decision. I have a developing family issue which I won't get into here. Suffice it to say that it's important enough to suspend my hike. I found out about things when I was in Soledad Canyon and I've been thinking about this ever since.
My hike is very important to me and has been my driving preoccupation for over a year now. Nevertheless, in the end, no matter what my personal feelings on the matter, my family comes first. I can, and will, get back to this. Hopefully, I'll get back to it this year but if need be at a later point.
I've had some great experiences, learned a lot about long-distance hiking, met some wonderful community members, trail angels and hikers along the way, and made many great friends. I look forward to when I can get back on the trail again and renew the adventure and hopefully those acquaintences. Until then, I wish you all, Happy Trails.
Thanx For The Memories
Marcus "Magi" Godby
