T-minus four weeks

Four weeks from today I'll be on top of Springer, ready to begin the 2,175 miles ahead.

I met another thru-hiker yesterday, from '06. He loved the experience and gave me a few good tips.

Yesterday was a crucial day for me: the gear list is final! I've purchased everything I need. (With the exception of flammables, like waterproof matches, which I'll get at the Atlanta REI). I could pack my pack today and go out, so anything that I add/subtract in the near term is a symptom of "last minute panic", nothing more.

I've got to get some training in today.
