  1. what to expect for low tempertures?

    Planing on starting in early April 2012 at Springer and do not know what to expect for low temps at night. Have been planing on using a 20 deg mummy bag but that may be over-kill. It weights in at just under 5 lbs. Along with my pack, tent, pad and cooking gear I'm at 19 lbs already. I'm soloing and only expecting to do a segment to Rt 64 in NC. I'm comfortable with as much as 35 lb load but less is always better. Can anyone give me an educated guess as what to expect as overnight lows.Perhaps ...

  5. 1 day till Lift off

    I am getting all those butterflies and nervous feelings now that the time has come. I have decided to leave my new iPad at home and just use my phone to update everything. I am really going to miss my new toy, but it is just too much extra weight to carry. Boo hoo. I hope it won’t be lonely sitting at home waiting for me. Lol
    I am going to miss Espn and Nicholas so much. I hope Nicky can come to trail days but I am not going to count on it so I don’t get disappointed. I already know that he ...
