I could get into all the details, but there are so many. The last four days have been a whirlwind. This is how it is every year though. I never feel ready, I always forget something, or to do something, and twenty things come up at the last minute that I would otherwise absolutely never have to deal with, but I do, and get on with it.
I arrived at the Springer Mountain Trail head this afternoon at around 4:30PM, thanks to the help and support of my man Jason. Props to any man who will drive across state lines to help me hike.
Because I got here late in the day though, I decided to walk to the Springer Mountain shelter and park it over night, before actually hitting the SPOT tracker. I pitched my tent, ate some dinner and now I’m settling in for some sleep. Going to need it. Long day of hiking tomorrow.
