As the snow falls here in Maine, I can feel the sun shining on my back in Georgia. I can't wait to get into the world after too much time inside. I'm attempting to ease off my obsession of the trail, but I can't stop thinking about it just the same -- everyone I see, I wonder, "When will I see you again?" and when i look at the next week of my life, it's one long check-list of equal priorities. I'm sad, elated, frustrated, scared (actually, petrified), and optimistic. What competing emotions. My friend Flutterby (Class of '98) said to me last night, "I've been watching you evolve. You're not an introvert, but you've turned inward over the past few months. There is so much going on in your head and you have no idea how to process it all." She hit the nail on the head, folks. See you on Springer.

Hey folks, picked up two young ladies today at Dick's Creek Gap right before a pretty rough thunderstorm kicked up. I had my family with me on the way to the planetarium at Young Harris, so all I could offer them was the back of the truck, but I think they appreciated it nonetheless. Well needless to say with it pouring outside I dropped them at the Holiday Inn Express in Hiawassee, and with my kids hollering they were hungry, was on my way. If anyone knows who these two yound ladies might have been, I'd love a heads up, I would like to read their journals if they are keeping one. One was from Ohio, one was from Michigan I think. They said they'd been on the trail 9 days, so I guess that puts them starting on 3/26/2008. Thanks!!
Hey All,
I probably won't thru hike this year, but it is an option. I did thru hike last year. However, I have alot of friends from '07 that will be on the AT for one reason or other. I am gonna join them in GA and start walking North.
Peace Out,

I'm thinking it might have been Bone Lady, Peggy from NE Ohio:
She's a tiny little thing.
I was wondering how she was doing, if this is indeed her.

My first time on the AT......starting NOBO on April 16th. Just look for the really big guy with an ungodly heavy pack. I can't wait to see the sunrise and set along the trail.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
