Well I figured I may as well start a journal about my prepping for my thru-hike in march 2013. Planning on hiking with my bestiest buddy. Decided to do this last year after watching a documentary about it. Turned out that 2013 was the best time frame to do it since we both were going to be in a transition phase. Right now im doing alot of reading and research and once Santa starts being nice to me, Im gonna start small hiking trips so by the time we are ready to go, everything gear and weight wise will be as stream-lined as possible.
I think i really decided to do this because I went thru a death in my family and ever since then, I cant find the motivation to be the person that I used to be. I swear, the woman I was would kick the crap out of the woman I am. I need this time to get in touch with myself and figure out who I am and how to get myself jump-started again. It doesnt hurt that Ill be doing it with a guy that is crazy and helps people even when hes struggling. I'm excited about the people that we will meet and the experiences that will ultimately shape our futures. For any of you heading out in march, don't be afraid to talk to strangers, cause we would love to talk with you. And please be prepared to smile and laugh alot.
