On The Trail

The time has finally come. My 4th section hike on the AT begins today. This is the first week of a hard 2-week stretch with Diane. I know I haven’t trained enough.

A big thanks to everyone for their well wishes. Model T, I hope I do you proud. You are a true inspiration to me. I’ll be thinking about you every day as I cook breakfast and dinner using a fine stove crafted by your own hands. I hope your autograph doesn’t burn off during the course of this hike.

For anyone interested in a good read about the Appalachian Trail, check out Model T’s (J. R. Tate) books—Walkin’ on the Happy Side of Misery, Walkin’ With the Ghost Whisperers, and Lore & Legends of the Appalachian Trail.

Well, we’re off. Watch for an update when we come off the trail to re-supply in 8 days. Gonna really need a shower by then.
