I can hardly believe the first day of March is here already! Most of my gear has been purchased, but the list of little things seems to be getting longer and longer. Hopefully I will be able to sleep outside in my tent a few more times before I leave if the temperature goes above zero and the skunk I saw last night doesn’t come back for a visit. Next week I will be putting together my food boxes for those few towns where purchasing sustenance reportedly doesn’t go so well.
My physical training has slowed down a bit. Snowshoeing with my pack on has been
extremely satisfying, shoveling snow from roofs and driveways, not so
much. I am planning to go 7 miles today
with 25-30 pounds on my back!
Here are a number of things I’m looking forward to on the
Appalachian Trail
-
hearing birds sing in the morning
-
witnessing beautiful sunrises and sunsets
-
breathing lots of fresh air
-
watching the seasons change- some trees already
have red tips on their branches
-
living by nature’s schedule and not a clock
-
being physically active
-
sharing my experience with two great friends
