On the Road Again

 May 9th.  Friday 

There have been a lot of stops and goes.   I've finally made it back to go.  After a slight meltdown this morning I rallied and finished getting ready to go.  This morning I reflected on how I've never really done anything like this before by myself.  So, yes, this is kind of scary for me.  And so I am embarking on hiking some sections of the Appalachian Trail.  When I started this I had hopes of hiking the entire length, almost 2200 miles.  For various reasons that is not to be.  As it is, if I am unable to keep my minor skin condition under control this time, I'll have to cut this trip short too.  

I took my time getting ready today.  I was almost ready to go when I realized I could use just a few more clothes and stuck some things I was hanging into the dryer.  As of this writing I only know of one thing that I think I forgot, an empty Talenti container.  I planned on using that to cold soak my food.  This oversight was solved by a trip to a grocery store in New York.  😋

I got hugs from the family and took some selfies with them.  Well, everyone but Gideon.  I didn't think to get a picture with him before he rushed off to school.
