    Default Milestones

    Georgia will be hard, but it must be to prepare you for North Carolina. Plan to get snowed on in the Smokies. By the time you reach Hot Springs, it will be easier for you and Virginia will not be far away.

    When you reach Damascus, you're going to be home in the sense I was when I reached Pen-Mar Park. Hiking from Pen-Mar to my home before I moved to the A.T. was a breeze! After that, I knew I had what it would take to finish.

    Big projects, like hiking the A.T. need to be broken down into smaller tasks or goals and taken one step at a time.

    It's okay to think about what will come, but only to the extent that it contributes to your hike. Thinking can help you prepare for what will come, but too much thinking causes one to lose focus on what must be done in the present to advance up the A.T.

    Bunyan, time to stop thinking about it. Go down to Georgia and walk home. You'll be glad you did.

    Default Thanks, Jack!

    I had meant to post the link to where I believe those words may be found elsewhere, but it will mean more to Joshua now that you have posted it here yourself.

    Besides, time is short, I don't know if he will see either of our posts before he departs, but I hope he will.

    Paul Bunyan will. He ain't going anywhere. He has a fever right now, and when he gets a fever, he really gets one. Our start date is delayed. In fact, we're all down with something in one form or another.

    (I guess too much partying on Sunday. When will I ever learn. ha ha)

    Default Springer fever?

    I wouldn't think it could be Springer fever from which he's suffering, since he has yet to hike the A.T. Whatever it is that's got you down, I hope he and the rest of you will soon be well enough to begin your journey.

    S'okay. It's a bit too early anyway. Get better and go in a couple weeks. You'll enjoy the weather more.

    Not sure if that's better or worse! All things in their proper time and place, my friend.

    Remember, you are Paul Bunyan, you can do anything, but even you cannot you can defy the laws of physics, except perhaps in your own mind and the minds of those who love legends. (No! Please, say it isn't so!)

    Well about the laws of physics ............................

    I think we are finally leaving tomorrow to go down. After only a few days of recovery. Thankfully, because i had such bad bronchitis yesterday, my stomach muscles hurt everytime i try to cough. Hopefully by monday, i will be fine and hiking.

    Thanks ti everyone who has been supporting me and looking out for me.

    Cheers.

    Loving you from afar, youngun. You be careful out there and take care of your mom. In fact, go give her really big hug from the female dino.

    Default More advice and a request ...

    Update your journal. The day will likely come when you will wish you had if you don't.

    We need to see the axe. Post a pic.
