UPDATE:

I've gone over 1000 miles
With less than 400 left
And 2 more states left
New Hampshire, and Maine

Asking for help and realizing this adventure isn't just for me.

So as I continue my adventure along the AT, I start to enjoy the
simple pleasures in life; like being able to stay dry when its raining
or being able to take a shower. As we get closer to Maine I realize
more and more how it feels to be homeless and yet I feel I am still
more fortunate then most who are homeless. It has made me really
appreciate the support that I have back home in Seattle and the
support that I have had along the trail. I now find myself in a new
predicament. I have less money to finish this trip then I would like
to have had at this point. However, I do not give up hope things will
be difficult, but I have learned that with help someone can survive
any obsticale that they may face. I have gotten to the point along
this journey that nothing, short of god's will, will stop me from
finishing it. However, I also realize that this journey is not just my
own but is those who have and do support me along it. I guess I write
all this to ask for help and to say thank you to those who have and
still do support me, especially my mom. Anyway if you would like to
help me along this journey the best way would be to send food if you
are willing. We have about nine stops before we reach the end and each
stop has a post office where you can send stuff. Below is a list of
places we are going to stop at and the address for the post office.
With any of the post offices whatever you send should be addressed to:

Chris Mears
c/o General Delivery
City, state, zip code

And the notation "hold for A.T. Hiker."
As far as what kind of food, all food is appreciated; ofcourse some
more than others. Any meal where you just have to add water is cool
such as lipton sides, mac and cheese, or instant mashed potato mix.
Snacks are always good too especially things like cliff bars or
granola bars or candy is always a good spirit lifter. In fact almost
anything is good, the lighter in weight the better. Again I want to
thank all of you who have supported me along this trip, it has been
one of the things I look forward to most when we get into town and
someone has sent me something.

Almost 3 states to go

So it has been since New York that I have posted an update. Last I told you my phone was dead. Well it has been a couple of states since then, and we are now in Massachusetts and we have almost three states to go before we are done. I got my new iPhone when we were in Kent which was about a week and a half ago. However the new phone had none of my contacts. So I don't have any body's number anymore, so give me a call if you have my number and I might not be able to talk at the time but I can at least call you back. It has been an interesting couple of days with really cool views and interesting people to meet along the way. For example currently we are in a town called Dalton staying at a place called the Birdcage. To get to the birdcage we had to go to the shell station and ask for Rob. So it felt like we were going to a secret club or something but it turned out the Rob was a really cool guy who let us stay at his house for free and let us take a shower and even did our laundry for us and tonight we are going to celebrate the birthday of Guy who goes by the name of "naked time." Anyway things are going well except for the weather we seem to get rained on everyday for a little bit but you get used to it, I guess, and we are about two days away from Vermont. I hope everyone is doing well in Seattle and I hope to see you all as soon as I can.
