They started today, but it has been nearly a year of preparation. Down here, in the Schipp residence, in south Georgia we got to see the transition from dream to reality. This final two weeks was a mixture of exercising the body, and exercising the right to take advantage of luxuries that wont be found on the trail. The constant eating so there would be calories to spare on exhaustively long hikes. The packing, weighing, and unpacking of the back packs. And the incessant sharpening of Scotty's new knife. They might have spent the majority of there energy playing with my daughters and dogs. I think that lounging on the couch in front of the TV was appreciated but we could all do with less of that. It is an exciting time for Scotty and Megan.
