This is getting painful–sitting here waiting for the day I get on the trail, while reading journals of everyone who is already out there. I’m going with a late start to avoid the crowds and because I don’t want to hit the Sierras too early. It’s not really late but it seems like it because everyone else is so early.
Even though I have lots of thing to do, like clean my cabin, go to the dump, and wash my sleeping bag, I just laid on my couch all day and thought about all the things I still need to do.
Someday, I hope I will be so together that I will just wake up one morning, pickup my pack, walk out the door, and go on a long hike without obsessing over the details or making a to do list.
