What a great weekend I had. My spirits are lifted once again and I am very excited. I wish I could leave tomorrow. I am so very ready for this hike in so many ways.

I worked off some of my “to do” list here at the house.


I am down to under a month for my departure date to leave from Maine to take the Amtrak to Georgia.


I turned in my final notice at work this morning. I already did this once before but they told me they wanted it ...

It's a month to go for my GA->WV '10 hike. I anticipate beginning the hike on March 10.

My real blog is here. I'll be looking to share posts between the two platforms, as well as twitter, trailjournals etc. Hopefully it's ...
