'Sorry boss man, work is fun and all but thru-hiking is way cooler" that's what I said...... Not quite. I did put in my notice this week though! I gave him nearly a month instead the typical 2 weeks notice. I'd rather train my replacement, then leave them high and dry. Has it been cool working for a popular and very well known Arizona brewery, yes. Has the free beer been a great perk? Hell yes. Do I regret quitting one of the coolest jobs I've ever had for a 40 day through hike, NOPE. This makes things so much more real! As if I wasn't excited already. After my last day of work I still have a week before we hit the trail. While I'm definitely looking forward to it, I think that week is going to kill me. I can only pack and unpack my bag and update Guthook so many times. This app is rad and it is totally feeding my excitement. (F)unemployment starts in about 3 weeks!!!
