It is March 1st and I just finished putting the 2nd coat of protective water resistant spray on my pack, pack cover and boots. I can not believe my journey starts in 15 days, and that I leave Cannon Falls in 10 days. Dreams are becoming reality now.
There has only been one major issue thus far, and that is how I am going to get to Georgia. Mark - my boyfriend- was supposed to drive me down in his work van, but last Thursday he got into an accident and totaled the van. Thank God he was wearing his seat belt and not injured besides having a bloody nose from the air bag. So my good friend Melissa said she would drive me down since she is laid off of work. Yeah!!! ( Yeah for her driving, not yeah that she got laid off.) Now to just make sure that I have enough gas money, something I didn't plan for.
I feel that I am prepared in what I have for gear, but very unprepared on what to expect in the mountains. Never have I stepped foot on a mountain, let alone hike 6 months on a chain of them. Once again time will tell, and from the mouth of my ever wise love.... " Just take it one week at a time, and be happy you are not working." Mark and all his wisdom makes me smile.
