    Good for you. I just got some pretty crappy news from my employer which makes me want to put my 2 weeks in right now and leave April 1st. I been saying "this is the year" for the past 3 years or so but never seems to happen. Think I just need a swift kick in the a$$. Good luck on your hike! MAYBE I'll gather enough courage to do the same.

    EDIT: I didn't know what year it was.... I've been saying that for about 6 years :/

    I just put in my notice at the beginning of last week, unsure of what my employer's response would be but prepared for the worst. To my surprise, not only are they very supportive of the idea and giving me a leave of absence, but they've also offered to pay my rent for the months I'm gone to keep me from having to find a new place to live when I get back. The best of all worlds, and amazing trail magic before the trail!.

    Default Liberating doesn't even begin to describe the feeling...

    "What do you mean you're leaving??" "You're leaving your job to do WHAT?!" "But...but..."

    Just this morning, I've been called crazy, insane, irresponsible, loco, and baddass. I'll take baddass and run with it.

    Good to see some more dirty-30's doing the same thing.

    I brought up the idea to a few friends the other day and was scolded like I had just murdered someone. Irresponsible was definitely the word of the night.
