Well hello at last!
This is my first entry to the blog, so I think I will start by giving the account of my own introduction to the AT. I had heard of the trail here and there in my younger years, but it wasn't until a very pretty lady, who I happened to be having a beer with at the time, brought it up that I really began to take an interest. Tara told me much about the trail and its connection to her family, and that one day she WOULD hike the AT. As I did some research and reading of my own, I realized how much of an amazing adventure this would be. I thought to myself "yeah, it would be cool to try and do this one day!" Hard to believe I am writing this now a little over 2 months from starting. I am extremely excited! Hate to keep my first entry so short but I must go now. I just want to echo Tara by saying Thank You! to everyone for your support and encouraging words. We really feel like everyone we care about is behind us on this adventure. More to come soon!
Nice picture - you look like you are contemplating some great adventure.....well - I suppose you are! Nine weeks and two days to go. My heart rate increases a little when I say that - I can only imagine what happens to yours!!
ReplyDelete(Do you have a mustache? Or is that just a shadow?)
Rose: he DEFINITELY has a 'stache goin' on! I think he's "pre-gaming" his AT beard.
ReplyDeleteI actually had to trim the stache yesterday, it was getting a little out of control. Cant imagine what my face will look like after a few weeks on the trail.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely have to watch those "staches." I've heard they can get a little crazy, when left to their own devices. :)
