training camp


so i was planning on hiking the 75 miles section of the AT (appalachian trail) next week... but you have no idea how difficult it is to get back to your car:) so i have changed the plans, to a 75 mile portion of the AT on the tennessee, north carolina border. ill pick the trail up north of asheville and hit it hard for 5 days trying to get to elk park, which is 8 miles west of boone, where andrew and vic will pick me up. (they will be in boone for the weekend) so the "bird" dog and the "city" boy are going to go sniff out a part of the trail that was used heavily by the cherokee indians, before they got kicked over to oklahoma. i dont have anything specific im trying to find in nature or inside myself on this trip, but secretly im hoping i will find something i wasn't expecting:)

You'd better feed the dog well since he is packing 10 of your lbs :)

he is only packing 5lbs of mine...kind of?? 5lbs water and 5lbs dog food. sean is a buck twenty at best and has no dog, b/c he goes on 80 mile hikes with no food:)
