It’s only 3 days away. Yee ha! The trail is calling.

Equipment is all laid out and I’ve continued to trim down my base weight. Supplies are mailed off and I’ll be heading east in a few days.

The hammock saga continues… The new one from Warbonnet still hasn’t arrived. Even though it was sent “Overnight” Priority Express Mail on Friday, it still hasn’t arrived two days later; probably will arrive tomorrow, with only one day to spare. I did request a refund from the USPS for the shipping and was granted a refund. Interestingly enough, Warbonnet charged my $47 for shipping and the refund was $28 from USPS. Just saying…

Anyway, the trail is calling…

If you go out on the Appalachian Trail, you have to bring so much more equipment – a tent, sleeping bag – but if you go hiking in England, or Europe, generally, towns and villages are near enough together at the end of the day you can always go to a nice little inn and have a hot bath and something to drink. – Bill Bryson
