The Last Hours...

So in these last hours of still being at home i've been reflecting 
on all of the things I have learned about myself, nature and the relationship
between humans and the "wilderness".

I can be easily distracted but at the same time I can be very motivated
to get tasks accomplished. Preparing for an odyssey such 
as this has taught me to follow through with something 
all the way to the end no matter what tries to stop you.
That could be girls, job or money….dont let it stop you.

The moment I take that first step onto the trail at the top 
of Springer Mountain……I have succeeded. 
I made it to the trail and planned it all. Every step.
Even if I either physically or mentally cant finish the trail…..
i've already beaten the hardest part of the trail.
Having faith.

Check Out These Old Hippies


Great News!!

So i've been snooping around the internet and i've found a couple adventures 
while/after we conquer the Appalachian Mountains.
I'm going to start repelling!
I'm thinking about bringing some repelling gear with me so
if I want I can go explore deeper into the forest or to see something cool.

It will also be great practice for when we move out west!
Thats right i've been thinking alot about getting a job out west in a
national park and get paid to show people the woods.
I could go to Arizona, Montana, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon.
There are so many parks and incredible places to explore.

Talking about exploring I really want to see Scotland and other 
wonders of beauty on our planet.
There are so many places to go and things to see I cant believe it!

I went to Atlantic City a couple of weekends ago
to see The Who and I must say it wasn't my cup of tea.
I'm more of an outdoor guy. Im not a 
partier I just want to be content with all the 
beauty around us and share it with other people

Check out how awesome it is!!!


Here is the How To:
