ONE WEEK TO GO - AM I READY?

Happy Easter!  One week from this early morning hour, I will be sleeping in my tent on the AT! As many of you know by now, my last day of work will be Tuesday, March 29. Then I fly on Wednesday morning to Seattle, have a 3 hour layover, and then fly directly to Atlanta, GA. My sister, Sara, is driving up from her Florida home to meet me there.  We will spend Wednesday night and Thursday looking at Atlanta sites and discussing my food packing. Since I am flying, I thought it best not to pack white powdery objects, orange powder, white capsules, gooey peanut butter, etc. On Friday, I will meet my shuttle to the Hiker Hostel at Dahlongea, GA at the North End MARTA station and my sister will drive back home. After Friday night at the Hostel, the shuttle will take me and many new friends to Amicalola State Park to start Ann's Great Adventure. And to see what a thru-hiker takes on the AT:

Once I get my pack loaded, I will post another picture and the weight of my pack.  Well, I better get some sleep, tomorrow is another day of hiking, paying bills, and trying to remember all of the other odds and ends that need to be completed before I leave. Thanks to everyone who has called, posted and given me encouragement in setting out on this journey - I appreciate all of the support.
