I have also been gathering wool and information about long trails, getting us ready for more serious hiking this year. Our 9+miles on Sunday was great, but that was a walk-not much work more than moving our legs for a few hours. Since it's so close, we have opted to keep using the area to take longer walks when we can't get to a trail, just to keep our stamina up.
I found this today, a 5 minute stop motion movie of the entire AT. He starts at Springer and ends at Katahdin. I enjoyed the sunny parts, but the snow-ugh. I am not looking forward to hiking in cold and sleeping in cold one bit. I guess I need to buck up somewhat! I can do the physical and what I am not able to do yet, I will work on. The mental will be my big blocker.
But there's time to worry with the details later. Today, the wildflowers were making a good showing.
