Days to Start of Hike: 1
With one day left before I start my thru hike, I have to admit that I feel like a 13-year-old about to run his first high school track meet. But that youngster had it easy--he didn't need to think of a gazillion things to bring with him to the race--just some shorts and laced-up spikes.
That's not to mention the emotional distress of leaving someone behind, who now has to support me in numerous ways and who will be a constant ball of worry. After all, there are bears, rocks, below freezing temps, snakes, falling trees, lightning, ticks and untold what-nots along the way that could harm me.
With luck we will both overcome our worries and continue to be happy.
