For today:
My plans are to attend church Sunday Morning and then Sherry will
drive me to Hot Springs, NC to drop me off. That is about 150 miles, a 3 hour
drive one way. Jack Jr. will probably go
with us if he is not working,
My pack is ready except for all the electronics. OH yeah, I was sort of
disappointed with today’s mail. I ordered a solar charger. It arrived today,
the sucker weighs just a little over a pound. That hurts. But on the brighter side, I now have the
little humidity eating ‘silica packets.’
But I hope to use the phone to check what I will need on the
long run, so I will figure it out.
I have been ‘exercising’ with the pack. The little trail I have around
our acre is good practice. I did about a mile and a half for the past 2 days.
The pack is heavy, but as my DI said on Parris Island “That rifle is mighty
heavy, but after a while it will be light, very light!” So I will get used to the pack or give up the
whole idea. I do hope it works out.
I am going to start walking thru the neighborhood. I will walk in
the morning when most folks are at work. If I am questioned I will to say, “My
wife said I should practice being homeless.”
Nite
Shipslog.
BTW, My Doctor said my idea of the silica gel was as good as anyway to protect the devices.

Best of luck. Bon voyage et au revoir.
God bless.
I hope you persevere and make the hike safely. Wishing you sunny days ahead and no rain to put a downer on things. Be safe and hope to hear from you soon.
Sounds Good you packing that Back Pack around and getting used to the weight and feel of it ! Just don't overdo it on weight ! I think that was a good Idea on the Charged, well worth the 1 pound weight ! Interesting following you along on this planned Hike ! You take care, sending down love from a frosty cold North Country, Gary an Anna Mae
Best of luck to you on your newest adventure. We can't to hear all about it. You'll have to write another book. We northerners wish you all the best. Stay safe, dry and take time to smell the wild roses. Dream of a thick tomato sandwich :).
loven'hugs from up north where it's going to freeze one more night and then we'll be good to plant the rest of our tender plants, like tomatoes. Yum
oops, We can't 'wait' to hear all about it.......
