I am two months and two days away from the beginning of my hike. There is so much that has to be done before April 3rd, and I am a bit overwhelmed with it all. My gear is slowly coming together and I am learning to be comfortable using it. I am reading, watching, and studying everything that I can find about the trail and suggestions for thru hiking it. I have begun to study the trail itself, and identify points for resupply and rest.
I am hiking every week. Twice a week or more I head to the Great Smoky Mountains to climb the hills and walk the trails with my pack on my back. Each day of the week I walk our local Greenway, pushing 5-6 miles just to help get in shape.
The days are moving swiftly and I feel the pressure of the coming departure. Thanks to all who are following my journey and sending up prayers on my behalf. All prayers accepted!
