New Beginnings

Katie and I had a little pow wow on Tuesday to decide where we should start. We've been thinking that we would like to start on the part of the trail that's between North Carolina and TN. So looking up directions and information about that point to us it looks like Hot Springs, NC is a great place to start. It's after Clingman's Dome which I've heard is very hard and it is in Madison County.
It will get us started up in the mountain chain but we won't have to pack in as much food. Which is good because apparently the trail along the TN/NC trail is very difficult to get food in to. So you have to pack extra. Which is not something I would really want to do. So Hot Springs looks like the spot.
And I'm still looking for a pack. I think a Gregory would be the best idea. But they're very expensive so at this point while I'm trying to budget my money I need God to give me the money I need to buy this pack and other gear so that I can go. I'll just live strictly on Ramen for a while... which I kind of do anyway because I love it.
So now Katie and I have a plan... I just have to get my parents on board :)
