We have been busy gathering all sorts of food for the trip. We are packaging all the food into boxes to be shipped ahead to ourselves to receive in different towns along the trail. It's a very interesting thing to try and plan ahead for all of the food we will need for four months. We will also be able to resupply in lots of towns along the way but some towns just won't have what we want or need. So it's going to take a lot of planning to make it all work out; planning that I haven't yet finished.
I told the company I work for that I wanted to go live in the woods for four months. After the initial "what the hell?" everything seems like it will work out pretty nicely. There may even be a job for me when I get back. So that was a big relief.
Ann has her national PA board test scheduled for the day before we leave, June 3! So, as I type this, she is sitting across the table studying hard.
We are very excited and I plan to do a blog about our gear and our food, since lots of family and friends have been asking about it. Then we'll be blogging about the actual trip before you know it!
