Hey, Oz, you can send it to the poho palace but you need to send by Fedex or UPS - not by US Postal Service! We discontinued our mail delivery by USPS so it will be returned if you do. Maybe all the way back to Australia! - I'll have our neighbor watch out for a UPS or Fedex delivery there and snag the box. We have a covered porch where they leave packages. PM me with the expected delivery date and they'll go fetch it off my porch and keep it for ya safe and sound. If you prefer to send it to the Hiawassee post office, check their hours to be sure you don't land there on a Sat. after they're closed or something.

If you mail it from a Florida post office, it is legal in most of the south, but It's near impossible to mail it to MD, NJ, NY, CT, or MA unless you are a resident and mail it from an in state post office. Anyone can mail it to Vermont, no questions asked, but you can only mail it from Florida to New Hampshire of you are a Florida resident. You used to be able to mail it from Florida to Pennsylvania, but I heard this just changed.

Thanks fellas but I am serious about the side effects too.
I deliberately don't eat it when I'm hiking.:eek:
I'm not joking, it's a felony to possess ammunition in Massachusetts without a license. Just pick up five new bullets once you get to Vermont.
Relax Elf.
I'm not even breaking Oz laws with this one.....;)
I need a cup of coffee and a shot of something strong. I got a string of bad luck and had to postpone my thru hike to next year. I had the brakes fail in my truck while coming up to a busy intersection and lived to tell about it, then the next week I had a hit and run on my other vehicle, now nursing an arm injury and kicking myself for having bad luck. I have though have a silver lining peaking through as a national charity wants to possibly use my hike for a fundraising event coupled with some corporate sponsors....it was thrown to me just a few short weeks before i was to go and they needed time to get a plans/events/print/media/etc together so it looks like 2014b for me. Now where is that shot!
TF, appears that 2013 was the year everything went wrong that could (Murphy at work), so here is to 2014 being the year everything goes RIGHT!

start out hung over?
I can't sleep the night before
getting drunk might help
No need to sleep, as a section hiker I can tell you that it's not really a first day on the trail unless you're hungover.
Not drinking.
Daniel is snoring and everyone else is asleep except "acolyte" hatchet man and his friend the "priest" who went out to smoke what looked to be a long old fashioned clay pipe. Seriously weird.

Welcome to the A.T. :sun All of us that hike this trail are crazy, it's just a matter of good crazy or bad crazy. :D

They're not that bad.
I used to have rifle.
Was a cheap ne and sometimes had a cartridge jam, so I handed it in to police for destruction.
Annual license fee was about a third of it's value.
May get another in a year or two.
Likely to be a much better one.

No they're in the Lodge an Daniel and I are at the Hiker Hostel in Dahlonega.
Hope you had time to check out the little Gold Rush museum in the middle of town. Dahlonega was the site of a short-lived gold rush in the early-mid 1800's. The gold that was extracted from that area was some of the purest ever seen up to that time. It had a particular sheen and color that was unique to the location. When I visited there, the tour guide passed around and let everyone hold a kruggerand (spelling?) made from gold dug in the area.

and repitition
had breakfast this morning with adam ant,starting the approach trail today, we'll hook up with him tomorrow.weather forecast for tomorrow is for partly to mostly cloudy, high lo40s with winds up to 25mph, rain showers late in the day possibly changing to light snow overnight into fri.am lows lo30s, friday clearing high lo 40s.
not ideal, but not bad for the start.
oz and daniel went to drop off the car in atlanta, we'll hook up with them later.
so far the cafe tribe includes milkman, oz, daniel, mother teresa,adam ant and me.went to register this morning and met a few people starting the approach trail. olive oil (yes, she looks like olive oil)had a 40 lb pack, realized she was carrying too much weight, so we offered to go through her stuff, shave some pounds, found out she was starting with 4L of water sho she emoptied the bladder, left ebehind most of her "first aid kit", and a windbreaker she had in addition to her rain jacket.shes now carrying 33 lbs, a lot happier.im sure well run into her again tomorrow.
i think the tribe will grow.
man,is it all good
If she kept carrying 40lbs, she might have ended up looking more like Popeye. :)
