2200
Dan and I are taking a break by a spring at mile 2163 when we see this stick, (or rather a small dead tree) sticking up out of the ground like an upside down Y.
I joke about making it into a giant "ultralight" slingshot and carrying it to Canada and firing it at the border. Dan dares me $200 to do it.
Dan Is serious when he bets. He didn't think I would.
I snapped the dead tree in half and slung it over my shoulder.
502 miles to go!
The way I figure it, I was unemployed before. Now I make .40 cents a mile! :)
Right now the 8lb hunk of wood has made it 37 miles. Most thru hikers are betting against me, that my beloved ultralight slingshot won't make it to Canada.
What do you think?
Bet me 10 cents a mile I can't carry this thing 500 miles.
I'm betting I can. :)
