Today marks the official start of the adventure!! We are driving from the high point area of North Carolina southwest to Springer mountain in Georgia to begin our Appalachian trail thru hike. Weather looks a little spotty with a chance of rain during the day and higher likelihood tonight. Report says higher chance of rain tomorrow after 10 so we will try to get started rolling before then and hopefully our things won't get too wet; chances of rain look like at least 50/50 all this week, send us good wishes for good weather!
Today we plan to park at the Springer mountain GA parking area and hike approx 1 mile to reach the AT and then continue North approx 3 miles to stover creek. We have been packing and repackig our bags over the past couple of days and it has been crazy and chaotic getting started! Our first grocery trip was sort of a splurge, especially weight wise haha. Our packs were heavier than we planned, so I'm sure we will learn quickly how to cut it down. We are starting at Springer with some family who will hike to the trail with us then head back to the car and are making a weekend of the drive in Atlanta-thanks K, T, S, N, S!!
Looking forward to providing more updates as we go, happy trails!
