Our trip itinerary is as follows:
June 24th- Load up our Uhaul trailer and say good bye and good riddance to Fayetteville, NC forever. Drive to Florida and store all our belongings with Shawn's dad.
June 30th- Fly from Orlando to Bangor, Maine. Sleep in the airport.
July 1st= Hang out in Bangor all day and get on the bus to Medway at 6:30pm. Get picked up by someone from the AT Lodge, stay in their bunkhouse.
July 2nd- Catch an early breakfast and a shuttle to Baxter State Park. Hike to the top of Katahdin and officially begin our hike south.
*as is usual with long-distance hiking, all plans are subject to change based on any number of unforseeable conditions including but not limited to weather, hunger, laziness, acts of God, etc.
We have most of our gear and half our apartment is packed up. Its just a waiting game now.
Good luck and we can't wait to hear about your travels! Wish you two the best and no matter how much rain, sleet, wind or hippies, ticks, wild animals and spiders you encounter...it is going to be an awesome adventure and the good times will far outweigh the rough ones!! PS-I don't think you're insane, but my sanity is questionable as well : ) We love you guys!!!!
