My friend Melissa asked me a great question via email this week. She wrote...
"If you had ONE thing to choose that you will miss the most while on your journey....what would it be?"
Wow. Take your pick. But to sort through all the options, I stepped back and set the stage. I will be removing myself from what I'll call normal life. That is... no ready access to running water, electricity, TV, washing machines, heat, air conditioning, friends, family, grocery stores, banks or a bed. But I will have access to all of those things with various frequency during the hike. So, I decided to pick something I will absolutely have no access to during the entire trip. The only thing I can think of... Fantasy Baseball. I've done it for 7 years or so and I'm coming off my most successful season yet. But, I have to bow out this year because of the lack of internet thing.
I made this my topic because I'm looking forward to seeing what will ACTUALLY be the thing I missed most by the end of the trip. We'll see. Thanks Meliss.
In other news... my gear collection is nearing completion. I'm getting very close to puchasing my pack. Hopefully this week so i can take it out and test it. I'm also close to completing my mileage and mail drop plan. I have a feeling those will be last minute rushes however. Lot's of trail food to be purchased in the coming weeks as well. THREE WEEKS TO GO.

REALLY! What will you miss most and it is Fantasy Baseball!?!? BOOOO Think again I do not accept that as an answer.
ReplyDeleteI am planning on leaving the trail to come see Ralphie whenever he decides to pop out. I will not be able to get off the trail and play fantasy baseball however.
