4 months, 2 weeks and 4 days to go! I’m looking forward to colder weather. I need that to really “shakedown” my equipment and make sure I’m good to go for the highly likely below freezing weather I’ll have at the beginning of my hike, especially in the Smoky Mountains. January will be the month of daily fitness training and also a camping trip with all of my gear on Cumberland Island. Love that place! Beautiful camp sites!

I’m hoping HikerFeed will work well for me to journal my hike next year and to allow friends and family to follow along.
