When you make plans to do something ambitious, your first concern is that you won't even start it...never mind not finish it. and as the time passes leading up to the departure; excitement, anxiety, and a laundry list of other odd emotions come and go making the wait seam almost like a dream. In planning to go hike the AT I've gotten the office tasks covered, and the bills paid, and the gear ready, and a bit of training... listened to advice from friends and family... but in the preparation status of walking from Georgia to Maine, all I can really do is hurry up and wait.
40 days to go!

Garrett,
ReplyDeleteWe will be happy to have you on the east coast for so many months!
We too are waiting anxiously!
Love, Mom
I can't wait to hike the first mile or two into the trail with you.(That is, if you will allow Mom & I to slow you down just a little for the first hour.) Then it's just you and Lexi while Mom & I drive back to CT and live this adventure of yours vicariously through this blog.
ReplyDeleteLove, Dad
Dad,
ReplyDeleteYou and mom are more than welcome to join on the first miles... however the first 8.8 miles will not take place on the AT, but on the approach trail to Springer Mnt. That is where the AT officially starts.
