This may be my last post before we start hiking 5 million steps on the AT, but I have a few last-minute updates.
Our starting weights are:Patrice (yes I am admitting my weight to the Internets, gasp): 133.8 lbsJustin: 155.2 lbs
Our first mail drop will be in Monson, ME. We expect to arrive there June 17, so if you want to send a package (absolutely no pressure, it’s just that people are asking for mail drop updates), send it out regular mail by June 7 to give it enough time to get there. Address it to:Justin or Patrice La Vignec/o Shaw’s LodgingPO Box 7217 Pleasant StreetMonson, Maine 04464Please hold for SOBO Thru Hiker, ETA June 17
Our second mail drop will be in Caratunk, ME. We expect to arrive there June 21, so send the package by June 11 regular mail. Address it to:Justin or Patrice La VigneGeneral DeliveryCaratunk, Maine 04925Please hold for SOBO Thru HIker, ETA June 21
The master mail drop list is still listed on the blog here. I also put up our partial gear list for anyone interested and it can be found here.
Weather is looking good for Maine and we feel READY TO GO (as ready as we’ll ever be, I suppose).
And with that, I leave you with a haiku.
Going for a hike Just over 2,000 miles Gonna be awesome
