All my equipment has been purchased and training hikes completed....nothing left to do now but drive to Georgia and get on the trail. I've been monitoring whiteblaze.net and lots of hikers have started or are about to get started this week. It looks like the weather has been cooperating with the hikers already on the AT. Although it's cold at night, the weather during the day seems to be tolerable.
I'm in the process of putting together my first re-supply box which I'll mail before we leave on Saturday. I plan to mail it the Walasi-Yi Center which is about 30 miles from Springer Mtn. There are other mail drop locations throughout the trail.
My next post will come from the AT!
