The day and time is here, every piece of gear has been scrutinized, weighed and reevaluated at least four times, my bag is packed. The trail starts tomorrow, the first day scares me the most, the reason why is it the foundation for everything to come or sort of. It’s a long uphill 8 1/2 miles just to get to the start of the Appalachian trail and I’m climbing somewhere in the neighborhood of 3000 vertical feet over that distance. It’s a bit of a daunting task, howeverthere’s campsites along the trail so if I don’t make it to the top, I just don’t make it to the top. I can always make camp and spend the night and get up the next day do it again. I had five days worth of food the weather forecast calls for rain tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. So when I was at REI I picked up another dinner just in case We get really bad thunderstorms and I spend the day in a shelter riding out the storm. It’s getting late I’m tired it’s been a long day of travel and I need some rest.
Tomorrow! It’s finally trail time I will be posting pictures.
