It’s only one week until I’ll be back on trail. The big experiment this year is the tent, which hopefully will keep me warm at night. We’ll find out quick because a cold front is passing through northern Georgia the day before I start. Lows at night will be below freezing. Yikes!
I’ll also be sleeping with my water filter to make sure it doesn’t freeze.

A friend here at Mallard was telling about sleeping with his water bottle when he was serving in the US Army in Korea in winter.! Jim is now 89+ ys young and doing quite well.
