It’s funny, you would think that I would be planning like mad. That I would be obsessing over every detail that could be obsessed about. Instead I’m going slow, one step at a time. I felt unable to complete details while still working full time. My last day at The Hangar Cafe was Friday, April 5, After eleven and a half years with the Cafe, and even more with Justin, I will be parting ways; at least for awhile. I don’t know how my mind will be reshaped by the trail, the journey. I will refrain from making any choices about the future until my return from the trail. Only collecting ideas and more dreams for a time. I have resorted to scheduling out my days like I am working. Oh wait! This is my job now!
But I digress, I start a new chapter NOW! The work starts NOW! I will be doing my best to keep obligations with friends before I leave, finishing up appointments and all self appointed tasks.
Along with that is the exciting part of finishing my preparation for the Trek. I get to sort through all my gear and weed out the luxuries that seem too heavy or frivolous to justify carrying them. Sort out the different gear that will be carried in different sections. A future post will detail all the nitty gritty stuff about gear. I am a low level gear geek at heart and this has provided me with an outlet for THAT little passion.
I also get to sift through all the food I have prepped and purchased to see how far that will get me. The plan is to keep as Keto friendly as hikerly possible. I will be prepping more food as needed or looking into Next Mile Meals to possibly fill any gaps. You should check them out at www.nextmilemeals.com, they have generously given us a discount code for 10% off which is usually reserved for large orders. (use code PNWCHILD expires 4/30/19 and tell them I sent ya!) Feel free to support my trail resupplies along the way via my travel registry here as well.
I feel truly blessed by all the love and support you all have given me! I am also pretty stoked to not go into this alone, I’ve got all of you behind me too!
I am so excited to view the trail through your eyes. I love you <3
Hey! That makes two of us! Love you too, lady!
Your Micro Spikes are on their way to you. Love you so much, my daughter. I can’t wait to see a picture of you in them in the snow!!
Ahhh thank you so much! It’s starting to solidify and get really real. 😊 Desert supplies are the next post! So I can do a Sierra supply post later… talk to you soon!
