It's time to Hike the Appalachian Trail

I've have always dreamed of hiking the Appalachian Trail. The time in my life has finally come to be able to hike the trail.

The AT is not only a very physically demanding feat, but the mental game to overcome is much greater that physical.

Also just a note... all of the post to this blog will be added from a mobile device. So, be kind when judging spelling and grammar!

Jump on in the water is fine!

Tomorrow I’m going to jump into this full force, I’m going to hike from woody gap to Neil Gap, almost 11 miles. So it’s kind of a do or die hike, in the 11 miles there’s 5 miles right in the middle that requires bear canisters. This is the only place on the entire trail that requires the bear canister, and it’s only from March 1 to May 31 and if you get caught without one the fine is $100. So I need to make the full trip in one day and that’s gonna be 11 miles. There is an outfitter at Neil Gap and I need to make some gear changes at that point. So, I’m already sending gear home from the above the clouds hostile. It’s mainly extra clothing that I’m sending home my second hiking pole and a few other odds and ends that I just don’t need or if they get wet they never dry out. So I should have Wi-Fi tomorrow and I will upload a video from the top of blood mountain.   Blood mountain is the highest point on the AT in Georgia.  So, not only do I have a 10 mile day, but I have one hell of an uphill to do as well.

Hopefully the R&R, being around people and decent food has given you what you need to achieve your goals for today. Push any negative thoughts out and stay focused on the beauty surrounding you.
