Only 3 days to go :sun !!!

You all got your gear together and ready? Going to pack my gear up in a little bit and then I'm ready to roll!!!

Woke up around 4am, looked out the window and all I could think was "almost a full moon - enough light to hike off!!!!" Cant wait to do the night hiking! :)

Ready for the rain, foot problems, ice, snow, zero days, mud, hurt knees, rattle snake bites - okay that only applies to us stupid enough to play with them:p, running from banjo music, falling in the streams, iced up boots, and all the other fun times!!!

Catch ya all at Springer or somewhere along the way!!!

Just for a little 'moon' help along the AT. If you see it in the condition it was at 4AM, that means it's 24 more days to a full moon!:D
Have a great hike. See you somewhere in the northeast.
Break a leg. I'll miss your posts.

Write when you get a chance - are you journalling? Maybe a link to your journal, honestly - I've never read anyone's trail journal but my interest is piqued this year with all the WB riends on the trail
Peace:sun

Wrongway,

Before you leave make sure you swing by my place ... I've got that
device to help you avoid that re-route around Fontana Dam. This is the
right flotation device right? click here (http://www.trailjournals.com/photos.cfm?trailname=6537)Why didn't you just send it over to your place anyway?

Regards,
DB

No need for those type of insults - :mad:

I guess you meant shipboard inflatables

Not inflatable sheep like the "Luvn Lamb" products that you go through every couple of weeks:

Regardless .... stay safe and stay warm - and you better make it to Harpers Ferry - at a minimum. You've trained hard enough.

Glad I didn't share a tent with you guys on the Jan. "Parade of Fools" in NY.

Take care, Wrongway. Hope to see you in New England.

Best of luck, wrongway! I'll keep an eye on your journals and the Fun Factor and I will come meet you somewhere on the trail and bring you some good liquor and homemade food!

May you have a speedy and injury free hike... and only a few wasted miles in backtracking to find your way again! ;-)
