The game begins

The day started out well. I ate breakfast at the lodge, courtesy of Shiloh and Shadowmoss. They were great people and I thank them very much for breakfast. I also met Jan Liteshope, and Awol during breakfast. Jan gave me a container with beef jerkey, and Awol gave me a bookmark with the entire trail on it, thank you very much! I then went to a presentation by the GATC, quite enjoyable. I started the Approach Trail around 11AM. The Approach Trail is not that difficult, a couple steep climbs though. Springer is a tad bit more amazing when you walk 7.5 miles to get there. It was completely clear today, so I had a nice view to the west. It was odd being there after 18 months of thinking and planning. I am looking forward to my walk north. It will give me enough tome to sort out my post high school life. Tonight I am at Stover Creek Shelter with several other thrus. Life is good. Good night,Kirby PS:I met a nice man named John at Amicalola Falls. He hiked in 1976, real nice guy, nice family as well.
