Tonight is the last night I'll be spending in Forsyth and all of the family (both biological and adopted) came to moms for dinner and board games. We had a great time; I really appreciate everyone for stopping by! I'm going to miss everyone of you so much!
I leave for Atlanta tomorrow and from there Amicalola Falls early Wed to begin hiking (approach trail~8 miles). I will have travel accompaniment for the first three days of my journey. After that I will be soloing it :D
Neels Gap is the first resupply stop and I expect to reach it sometime Sat-Sun. I've packed my bags, unpacked, and repacked....and with enough food and water for Xerxes' army it rests at a whopping 40 pounds. I've tested my gear and experienced carrying most of it for several hours. It wasnt pleasant to say the least, but I can do it! :)
You go gal... you'll have a great experience - you are determined, resilient and just wile and adventurous enough to get the most out of it. Will enjoy following your journey. A friend of mine who retired last year has been hiking 3-4 sections of the AT and will be on the trail the first 3 weeks of May - you may run in to her at some point. Deb.
