My bag is packed, everything is in place and the time has come. I can't even begin to describe how I feel, I have a flood of emotions going on. I'm excited about what is about to begin, I'm scared to leave everything behind. I'm leaving everything, my wife, home, friends and family, all to walk 2200 miles! What is the deep drive to do this? This is not a natural thing to do, everyone I tell I'm going to hike the AT all have that same look and and same response, " are you F'n nuts? They all asked the same questions, are you scared, what about food, and the one that always gets me, are you carrying a gun? No, it weights too much! Yes, it’s scary, I'm leaving a very comfortable life and I will be walking 2200 miles, this is a journey that I alone must travel.
With that, my next post will be from the trail on Tuesday March 16th...
