We're in full gear tying up all the loose ends before we leave Gainesville and our jobs here. Those belongings that we decided not to keep have either been sold or donated to an organization (or friends). Hannah's parents are coming up to Gainesville on Sunday (29 March), and we're leaving Monday morning and heading to Georgia where we will stay the night at Hannah's aunt and uncle's house; I'm really hoping that Hannah's uncle will make his famous Brunswick stew--it's amazing! We'll be up and out early Tuesday morning and will hit the trail by Tuesday afternoon, I expect.

The first week we're only scheduled to go 5-7 miles per day. We'll gradually increase our mileage each week until we're averaging about 20-25 miles each day. That should put us in Maine in mid-August!

We are very excited about getting started on this journey. Thanks for reading

  2. Gina and I will be constantly thinking about you. I'm glad you've decided to create this virtual space, where all of your friends can still feel connected with you two.
