Take a Hike!
December
100 days and counting!
Yes, I'm still going. Yes, Wendy thinks I'm a bit touched in the head, but she's seen worse from me and is still quite supportive. My kids all don't understand yet. Tom and Jenn are not quite sure what it means when I say I'll be gone for 4-5 months. David is quietly excited to be the man of the house while I'm away and to join me when school lets out for the run to the finish in Maine. The four foot map of the AT is in the living room now and is a constant reminder of my trip - as if the constant running of the food dehydrator and piles of gear are not reminder enough.
One note on food. I'm drying veggies, chicken, tuna, shreded pork and beef (all meats are cooked first) to add to basic Lipton's dinners for meals. So far I like the options and varieties. I've been running a Harvestmaid Dehydrator from American Harvest for months now and it's been working flawlessly.
There are not that many things that have changed since July. I'm dumping the tyvek tarp in favor of coated nylon, and my clothing has been adjusted a bit. Other than that, I'm still working on the food list and maildrop schedule. Both will be posted when they are ready.
