    yes, its snowing lightly at the moment and the winds howling. I will be leaving Amicalola lodge in the morning to get back on the approach trail nearby. But having lived in Minnesota I know how to dress for the cold so I should be alright. The wife is a little nervous leaving me here... lol.

    I did it...a written blog, a photo blog, and a youtube blog. I have never regretted it for one second on or after the trail. Especially after. Throwing yourself into projects helps keep "real life" from feeling depressing.
