As I stated in an earlier post, I have literaly no gear for my upcoming through hike (unless you count my toothbrush lol!). Well that changed today. I bought my first and probably most important piece of gear today; new shoes! I ordered a pair of North Face Hedgehog Gore-Tex XCR shoes online. I will let everyone know what I think of them when they arrive. (Yes I realize that many shun gortex on the trail, but from what I've read, these shoes dry pretty well even in spite of the fact that they have gortex and I don't usally have a problem with sweaty feet)
So what should I get next; a pack...tent...plane ticket from Maine to Georgia dated for sometime in October ?
