Week 1 under our belts!! This included pouring rain day 2 followed by a cold snap that caused all of our wet clothes to freeze. Literally we put on frozen shorts over leggings and hiked as they thawed and dried (sort of). The temperature dropped to 16 two nights in a row. We were warm enough in our tent but breaking camp in the morning was brutal. Tonight (3/8/19) we are in Top of Georgia Hostel where $40 gets you a bunk, a towel for showering, scrubs to wear while they do your laundry and lots of good company. What are our trail names? Steve is now “Skins” and Judy is “Steamy”.  We hit the trail in the morning and in 8.9 miles
Cross into North Carolina.

    Judy and Steve, I'm sure the story of your nicknames is much tamer than what my mind has come up with their evolution I don't think you can get any more intimate than what you're going to achieve during this adventure. Stay safe, Lovies. Thank you for letting us know how you are doing. Christine

    Judy: you look sooooo like Jared with your haircut! I wondered how y'all were doing with this winter that won't end. Dom/Sam/River have been nomadic in the southwest dodging snow but have finally hit the warm-up occuring in southern Texas. Stay safe! oxoxoox

Prepping

I have almost 80 dinners vacuum packed. The breakfast skillet and biscuits and gravy are all set to go too. Working on the rest of dinners, lunch stuff and SNACKS. Major Costco run today for snack stuff.  Calories in are a the goal. YES, I'd like to drop the 20# I need to, but I want to do that from exercise vs. not having enough to eat. The poor weather has impeded our training a bit...who wants to walk in -20 degrees???  Not me!! That said, we've had some good 6 mile treks with 35# packs. We'll do okay I think. The plan is to fly to Atlanta 3/1/19...tickets purchased. Then start the AT either 3/2 or 3/3 depending on the weather and getting through the paperwork we need to. Happy to have YOU as a follower!  Peace - Judy

First Zero

Image
We began this marvelous and challenging journey on 3/2/19. One thing we’re learning is that many hikers resupply every 3-4 days to cut down on their pack weight, and often take a “zero “ day in town. This is a day of no hiking on the AT (Appalachian Trail). Well, tomorrow is our first zero day , 3/21/19. Today was a “nearo” day, or near zero, as we hiked out of Smokey Mountain National Park to Newfound Gap (5 miles) and a wonderful young man shuttled us to Hot Springs, NC where we are meeting Rachel and Patrick for 2 days of hiking. Some thoughts about the young people we have met thus far. First off, they are really committed to the environment. Secondly, they are kind, intelligent and fun. Steve and I both feel renewed hope for our Nation knowing the next generation of leaders really get it. Personally I have looked for signs of Joel’s presence on the AT and if the last week of sun doesn’t do it nothing will. Never mind that it was freezing and we hiked on ic covered rocks...very slo...

Reptile week

Image
With Spring comes rain and with rain comes critters who like being wet. We have seen many reptiles this week including the red eft which is the precursor to the Northeastern News. The r d eft develops from larvae hatched in the water. When it reaches sexual maturity on land it returns to the water and grows gills, loses its legs and becomes a newt. Here’s the red eft. In addition to the red eft we ran across these other reptiles. Perhaps they were looking for red eft lunches? We are not sure why a turtle and bullfrog would be hanging out at near 4000 feet if not for food! There was also a small black snake with an orange collar but he was too quick for me to get a picture!  The rat snake (black) was at least 36 inches long and really startled Jared and me. We are taking our 5th zero today in Waynesboro, VA and Sunday (Mother’s Day) begin Shenandoah National Park. We are excited about this as there is less severe elevation changes and we hope for some highe...
