T Minus One Month
Well here we go, it's officially too late to change our minds and trail time is exaclty one month away. We are both excited and nervous about our little adventure, and we are franticly double checking our equipment. Trying to reach that perfect equilibrium between not enough and too much weight is virtually impossible, and I have a feeling we will soon find that less is more. Although it seems against the "spirit of the trail," we will attempt to keep everyone posted on our progress via this blog. So add this site to your favorites and check up on us once in a while. See you on the trail!

Jessica and Jon,
I am so envious! Maybe I can hop on the trail for a night or two with you when you come through Hanover. Either way, you'll have a warm place to stay and some good food if you need a rest.

That sounds great! We would love for you to hike with us and visit you in Hanover! We will keep you up to date on our progress and you can get on the trail with us whenever you would like.

I am so excited for you guys! I am living my adventurous life vicariously through you all! I absolutely cannot wait to hear all about it! :)
John and Jessica,
Good luck on your adventure, I have always dreamed about doing this since I was a young Boy Scout. I can tell you that I once lasted 12 days on the trail in Sierra Nevada Mtns. of New Mexico in one pair of underwear, one pair of socks, one pair of pants and one shirt. I smelled like absolute shit but at least my pack wasn't full of extra stuff. One other piece of advice I can offer is that iodine water tastes like poop but at least you're not hauling around a purifier. Again, good luck and I look forward to reading about your trip.

you are both crazy good luck, shot straight and remember to always check your sleeping bags for spiders
