100 days to go
The full weight about my Appalachian Trail thru hike is starting to set it. I officially have less than 100 days until I leave to meet my group. In 99 days, there will be no more planning. In 99 days, there will be no turning back.
It is hard to believe there is less than 100 days to go. I feel like I have a lot of things to get done, many tasks lay unfinished, when that really is not true. My planning is almost complete, I am working on mail drops right now, but that is the last major planning hurdle.
It is hard to believe, still, as I sit here, wow! I am going to attempt to hike from Georgia to Maine, that is an awfully long way, but doable. I look forward to standing in the parking lot at Amicalola Falls State Park, I look forward to be standing at the top of Springer Mountain, I am ready, and yet I have this odd feeling of not being ready, as if something is missing, when really it is me really starting to comprehend what I want to do. With only 99 days to go, butterflies are starting to form in my stomach, I am preparing to enter the unknown. How far will I make it? I have absolutely no idea. I now start my contemplation, of the unknown. KirbyGA>ME 2008
