Things have changed sooo much. I have no internet at home and can only get on every few days or so now and have been slacking online...on the other hand I have been planning like a mad man at home. I will bring Chief my Boston Terrier until we get to the smokies then he will get a ride back home and sit out the rest of the hike. This will save money and make the hike more easy for me in the long run.
I started stressing out about running out of money and came up with a plan. I'll of course work and save as much as possible my back up plan is a list of mail drops in the hands of everyone that is willing to send me a food drop if needed :D free food never hurts. I have also stumbled into a cool deal where my home town martial arts school is "sending" me on the hike... the local news paper is going to meet with me next week and if all goes well I will be getting donations from two or three other businesses in town just for a mention in the article. I never dreamed this would happen.
Oh yeah I got the same ol negative responce from part of my family. Dad said "why? You don't even get anything for it.." Grandma ignores it all and figures that will make it go away....
The time is VERY NEAR!!! March 1st!!!!!
