Today is January 18th and there is just a little over 6 weeks till I leave here and head to Springer Mt. GA to start walking north to the Big "K", Katadin.
  Still to do, buy food, make arrangements for lodging along the early stretch of the Trail, mail out postcards to the Post Offices to let them know when I will be there and the most important one - travel arrangements from here to there.
  I have two presentations about the Trail before I go at the local Public Library and a send off party on February 23rd at the American Legion Post 153 in Auburn, ME.


  Even though I have a lot to do, I know it will all come together at one time.
 
Enough for now, till later,
   Keep your boots on the Trail,
