Packing Resupply Caches - March 30
J: Most of the food is purchased - I hope. It's the night before leaving and I'm too tired to be nervous. I'm pouring salt into baggies; prepping supply caches for the mail. Have to get these together now! Do I have enough food? The right food? Not sure. Tried to be nutritionally sound, but hard to be sure I have enough calories. Back to work.
A few nights before, I was honored to meet Melissa / Chaos - the reporter from '93. She offered a slideshow and talk on the trail at the community center where we played volleyball. Previously, we had traded a few emails about prepping for the hike -- so I was able to thank her in person for her help.
BTW, Blacksburg suffered a fourth ice storm just eleven days back. Enough already! I'm heading south.
