AND WE'RE OFF!!!

WOW! after all the planning and hard work, i find myself sitting here in bed on the last night before we leave utterly exhausted and unable to sleep.  its all coming together and this amazing journey is going to happen.  After all the hard work, late nights of research, hours on end of planning, and re-planning, its come down to two flights, and a ride to the trail head.  Thats all that stands between us and the trail.  I'm not too sure any of this has really set in yet.  We have said our good-byes packed all of our gear and are as ready for this adventure of a lifetime.  but it still doesn't seem real, were hiking from the Mexican border to the Canadian border.  On the maps were going anywhere from four inches to three feet, and in reality its 2600+ miles, like i said, it hasn't set in yet.  We're looking forward to the ups and downs, and the unknowns the trail has to throw at us, and hope you all enjoy following us on our journey of a lifetime.

This is probably the first and last entry I will make before we start the trail late Thursday, or first light on Friday.
