It feels like Christmas Eve

April 9, 2017

It feels a bit like Christmas Eve when I was a small child anticipating what was going to happen on Christmas day. Wondering what was under the tree! I sit here anticipating starting this journey of 2290 miles. What does the trail have to offer me? I guess I will find out in the morning as Grant and I will slack pack the first miles together returning back to the campground to sleep. Hopefully this will ease my anxieties of being away from my family these next six months. The next day I will slack pack alone. My plan is to begin to carry my full pack on Thursday as Chris, Grant, Ruth and Betty head back to work and school
