Welcome To Our Blog!

Hello everyone and welcome to our blog!

After months of looking ahead, talking about the time we'll spend on the tail as if it would never come, the day is quickly creeping up. Our gear has been bought, our town stops have been planned and our permits have been applied for. I'd like to say that all we have left to do is sit back and wait for our April 24th flight to San Diego, but the truth is, planning and preparing for a hike of this magnitude consumes you. There is always another blog to read, a gear list to look over or a final consideration to make. Not to mention all the day hikes and time spent at the gym trying to prepare physically for an undertaking like this.

I, Mike, will likely be the primary voice of this blog, mostly because it's registered under my gmail account. But hopefully Jesse puts his 2 cents in here whenever he can. Both of us are pretty new to blogging, and speaking for myself, I can say I'm not the greatest writer out there. But I will do my best to keep things interesting. I worry that any prehike posts I make may be lacking in substance, but I'm sure once we are out in the thick of it, the quality of our experiences will make for an entertaining read even if the writing is sub-par.

So I encourage anyone reading this to subscribe, or at least check back regularly, so you can follow our exploits and other general trail shenanigans. And please, don't hesitate to leave a comment or shoot us a message because this will be our major outlet for contact with the real world while we're away and we'd love to hear from everyone. A few encouraging words while morale is low will do wonders for our mental health, I'm sure.

That's all for now, talk to y'all soon
