Stress fracture in the foot. He's working at a security firm and comptemplating getting into law enforcement, last I heard.
What a shame he fractured his foot after all the preparation that is put into such a major undertaking. i'm sure he will be successful at whatever he does and wish him the best . I wonder if the desire is still there to do a thru hike or if he has given up on the idea all together ? Sometimes there is only a small window of opportunity for a thru hike then the real world and family life take priority. Let me just say how much I appreciate his service to our country over the last 20 years and wish him and Dixiecritter all the best.
