The weather is looking promising for starting our 101 mile hike this weekend. Jen posted that Skyline Dr. has opened from Front Royal to Thornton Gap, so as long as it doesn't snow or ice over between now and the weekend, we should be good to start our hike. I'm currently reading "Southbound" by The Barefoot Sisters. I really wish my knees and feet were healthy enough to do a through-hike of the AT. Not that I would do it even then. I have all the good excuses like work, mortgage, bills, pets, etc. But still, just knowing it was a viable option would be nice. So I'll settle for section hikes of the AT in Shenandoah. Who knows, when we finish all 101 miles, I may start tacking on more sections in VA, then WV, then PA, then who knows!?! :) As for the Barefoot Sisters, I think I'll stick with my hiking boots.
Once Jen and I get on the trail and get some miles down, I'm hoping I'll get a legit trail name. I've been given a couple, but not convinced yet. "Poopfinder"? "Bing"? We'll see what sticks.
