GA Hike coming up...

Rate this Entry
Getting ready to join another hiker in GA for a week on the AT.
Flight reservations - Check
Gear - 'Almost' Check

As a relative newbie its exciting as heck! The shakedown on my last hike took 10lbs out of my pack - got it down to 30lbs... I was in the Smokies and most of the journey was down hill so life wasn't too bad. This time Ive changed a few pieces of gear and cut down on the 'what-ifs' so hoping that my pack is a bit lighter.

Our hike will be about 35mi. While this may seem insignificant to those of you who hike that far in a day, its monumental for someone who's old, obviously over weight, had two knee replacements and pins in both feet. Im praying to the hiking Gods that I will do ok and not hinder my partner by being too slow.
