Today is launch day! In a few hours Tiffany and I board the southbound train from Portland to arrive in San Diego 31 hours later. This morning I sit at Grandma and Grandpa's computer wearing my hiking clothes. I look at how clean they look and how silky my dri-fit shirt feels and I wonder how long this will last. Soon I know that even washing them won't rid them of all the dirt mashed between the threads.
I am a little more anxious than I thought I would be. This whole idea of backpacking is not new to me, but for some reason I am a little frightened by the thought. The good thing is that when I think about living out of my one room, single walled, packable home I cannot help but become delighted by the thought and fantasize about how great it is going to be. (Of course the sun is shining and there is a cool breeze in the air when I think about this little fantasy, no bugs or rain or hours of postholing!)
Let the journey begin!
