Father's Day

Father's Day

17 June

What can I say, probably not enough. I love my father, the values and knowledge he has instilled in me speaks volumes as to the type of man I have become. I was fortunate to grow up in a house where I saw my Father every day. I emphasize Father because any man can create a child, but a father is designated to those men who take the time to instill the qualities that are needed for a child to grow and learn from his or her mistakes, develop ambition and an ability to pass on sound knowledge to others and one day his or her own children.. I appreciate the sacrifices that he has made in the name of our family. When I look in the mirror , the man I see starring back is a direct reflection of my father Richard Carl Cochran. I am blessed to have you in my life, and the love and respect I have for you is unmeasurable. Happy Fathers Day!!!

I want to say Happy Fathers Day to
My Brother Mike, uncle Joe, Uncle Gene, uncle Cliff, Matt Thomas, Ron and Larry Harper, Dr. Fuchs, Mr. Mabry and Moose.
And any other Fathers out there I failed to mention.

A few things -
I would have to say yesterday was one of the most amazing days on the AT that I have experienced so far.
We started with a 26 mile slack pack from 4 pines Hostel. Pack or no pack 26 miles is the longest distance I have ever traveled in one direction at any one time , I still can't really comprehend how far that is, but it was a marathon over mountains smh crazy! But we did it.
I had and amazing picture taken on mackafee knob, which is a spiritual waypoint on the AT. After that was tinker cliffs , another amazing view. So I come down off the mountain in to a gully, and I see in front a fawn( baby deer) u kidding me. You could live your entire life and not see a fawn in the wild! A humbling experience , I kept looking around for the mom as to not get stomped by a 300 lb deer lol. I got it on video. Check it out!!!! till next time
