well tomorrow is the big day. i plan on hitting the trail at 10am and have an easy 8 mile day to the shelter i'm planning on staying at. i'm totally excited and not tired at all....maybe a bit nervous also but that comes with the territory.
today was a pretty easy day. just finished but the last few odds and ends. we also drove to where my first resupply is going to be and dropped off my box of food and a few other odds and ends. its a really cool hiking/camping supply store thats geared mostly for thru-hikers. i'll snag a few photos on my way through.
i also weighed my back today down at the visitors center of the hotel we're staying at. came in at around 38 pounds. thats not terrible but i would like it to be a bit light but i'm out of things to leave behind before it becomes unsafe. once i get rid of my cold weather gear i'll be in good shape.
the fog also moved out that has surrounded the hotel for the past day and a half. so i was able to get a few shots of the view from the porch out back. it would be really pretty if it was totally clear.
weather tomorrow is suppose to be around the 50's during the day and low 20's at night with a 50% chance of rain. i'm hoping the rain holds off cause i really don't want my first day to be in the rain.....so lets hope for the best.
well thats it for now. i'll try to update as often as i can but i honestly can't say how often that will be. i'll try my best though, promise
i'm now walking into the wild.

Picture is beautiful, even with the fog. Happy Trails, nephew! -- Elissa

ReplyDeletedid you pack all this LOOOOOOOVE your family has for you? it doesn't weigh a thing!

Forza piccolino!!! The Italians wish each other "in bocca al lupo" for good luck when they begin a trip - it means "into the wolf's mouth" and makes no sense to me - but I wish you a great journey. Maybe I will also send you a hearty Hebrew "mazel tov" which means good stars. I pray the constellations, the wolf and all the powers that be protect and keep you!!! Wendy
