Today:
Well this is my last entry from a keyboard to the Shipslog. The next, when I have a signal and it all
works I should be on the trail headed North.
I know I may not make it 30 miles, but I am going to give it one last
try. I have told Sherry I will give up
this goal if I fail this time. There is
always a time to know (or learn) your limitations. But you do not know until
you try them.
Wishing all of you the best in your goals in life. I am dropping a lot in Sherry’s lap. The handling of the final paperwork for the
Coach, title, tag and insurance. It should be done in Florida but she isn’t
there. We are hoping NC will cooperate.LOL
And then there is the filing of our income tax forms. I have done them
myself until I started in business then I had a bookkeeper. But for the past
20+ years I have gone back to doing them myself. She will get a local tax person to do them
this time…
We head out for Amicolola Ralls State Pak in Georgia early in the
AM. I hope to start the trail by 11 AM
on the 26th. Temps are
supposed to be 17-20 degrees the night of the 26th, gonna break me
in right.
I will do my best to post that evening at the start. I have a grandson,
Joshua, who runs 30+ miles in marathons, surely his grand pa can walk a few
hindred miles.
This has been a hectic time, but it is what it is….

It never hurts to try, if you don't try you will never know the outcome. Wishing you well and safe travels on the trail. I will be waiting to hear from you when on the journey.

I'm late to the party but you're on my mind. 'Trying to imagine where you are ... what you're seeing ... how you're feeling. Prayers lifted!

Good luck Jack...and good luck to Sherry too. I'm betting the taxes are the least of her worries with you out in the wilderness! Please be safe and good for you for not giving up your goals. I'll keep you in my prayers for a successful goal reach!

You are one bold (if not a little on the crazy side) man, Jack. Remind yourself once in a while that you are not 35 anymore. Common sense, Jack. Common sense.
