the night before (monday, march 20)



Well, the time has finally arrived.  Tomorrow morning, most of the family heads to Georgia.  The Big Boys will head out from Amicalola Falls on Wednesday morning.  His pack is weighing in at 28 lbs. He's happy with that weight.  Sarah and I have been charged with documenting his trip along the way from pictures he will send and thoughts he will share when he's able to call.

Sarah and I tried to get all reporter like tonight and asked all the standard questions on how he's feeling, what's he thinking about, things like that.  He can't put any words to all the things he's experiencing right now.  I probably wouldn't be able to either.  He's planned and hiked and planned and hiked and bought supplies and packed food supplies and hiked and planned and bought more stuff.  And prayed.  And prayed.  He's just ready to quit thinking and talking about it and get the show on the road.  So tomorrow, we will do just that!
