Good Morning!

Currently, I am sitting in the San Diego airport anticipating Bob Riess’s arrival to pick me and a fellow hiker up as he will be hosting many hikers as he normally does this time of year.  We will be departing his home first thing in the morning, and I will then officially begin my thru-hike on the Pacific Crest Trail.

What’s going through my mind right now?

I’m excited, anxious – and a bit overwhelmed..  I’m thinking about family, my loved ones, the special woman and her wonderful daughter that are in my life.  I’m thinking about the internal transformation I am about to once again go under.  I’m thinking about water – oh how Aqua-Man loves and needs his water.  I’m thinking about my pack weight – too much, too little?  Just enough –

I’m thinking about how amazing it was that I randomly ran into a very influential person in my life at the airport and was able to spend time talking with and catching up with during the flight to San Diego.  I believe that to be Trail Angel #1..  A great start to an adventure I am so thoroughly looking forward to begin.

So now – the blog is alive – this is officially my first post…  I hope you can enjoy this experience with me – and help spread the word about my hike – help me and the organizations I am supporting to raise awareness and financial aid for A.L.S. and Mental Illness.

Thank you all for your love, support and for joining me on this incredible adventure.
