No Turning Back

It's official. We are hiking the Appalachian Trail. Not that this wasn't the case before but now we have ONE-WAY PLANE TICKETS to Atlanta! Yep, no turning back now. We fly out of Flint on Friday, March 16th and take our first step from Amicalola Falls State Park on the 18th. We revised our list of everything we need to get done before we leave and it is somewhat overwhelming. I'm looking at our dry erase board as we speak and we have 15 items (and growing) to check off. That equals out to about one item to cross off each day. Hmmm... perhaps I shouldn't be playing with the blog then. It's unbelievable how a list can be so long when your just going away for 6 months. Actually, no, it's not. We're going to be away for SIX months. Ahhh!

28 Days

Yep, you read that right. 28 days until we embark on our grand adventure. We’ve been planning this trip for so long that it is mind-boggling that it is finally almost here.

Why choose to do something like thru-hike the Appalachian Trail? We’ve been asked a variation of this question a million different times. Literally. I’ve counted. Each time we answer, we discover a little bit more of what we are seeking. It simply began as a desire for some adventure. Something new. Something exciting. Something different than an 8 to 5 work week with much of our true living being on the weekends.

The First Entry!

Hello all! This is our test post to make sure this thing is up and running. Bear with us, we are new to this whole "blogging" thing. We will try to keep this learning process as entertaining as possible so we have included some eye candy for everyone to look at. We only have a little over a month before we depart on our current adventure, "The Appalachian Trail", so there will be more posts to come. In the meantime, if you would like to stalk our every post then go ahead
