Three months out!

12/6/2013

I've finally finished mapping out my route. I've almost got all my gear. I'm finding myself more anxious than ever, but in an excited way. I would leave tomorrow if I had everything I needed. Just want to get going already.

How vain it is to sit down to write
when you have not stood up to live

Hey,
Check out Discoverytrail.org for state books with turn by turn directions, milage, way points and gps files. I worked out a 15-20 mile/day rate, plotted it in my state book, which coordinates to a position on a map. As you continue plotting, the route takes shape.

Hope this helps.
Nick
