It’s exactly one month until I’m back on the Appalachian Trail at Springer Mountain, GA. My gear is all laid out and I’ve got a shuttle reserved to take me to the trail from Lake Lanier, where I’ll be dropping off boats after the MC Scow Midwinter Championship regatta at Lake Eustis, FL. I am so ready.

VLOG posts are still going up weekly on the Puffins Hike YouTube Channel. Be sure to check it out and subscribe. I’m planning to post daily videos that will begin on March 19th. For more timely updates, you can always check the PuffinsHike.com website.

My biggest goal now is to spend more time walking and getting my trail legs started before I go. Here’s a photo from Forest Park on a training hike.
