AT-6 Days

Laura and I went food shopping today.  Pre-packaged food is expensive!  It's convenient...but expensive.  Many of the blogs and books we have read says AT hikers burn through the calories pretty quickly.  That means we can eat just about anything we want and as much as we want.  BUT, the more we eat the more expensive it gets.  What's a person to do?!  Anyway, it was fun to pick out those things that are easy to carry, easy to cook, and easy to eat.

I'm also doing some last minute things around the house before I depart.  I recently built a fence to keep the dog from wandering too far from the farm and getting hit by a car or picked up and taken to another home.  Today, I cut the boards for the fourth and final gate for the fence.  Once Theresa puts two coats of stain on it and it dries, I'll put it together and hang it.  The fence will finally be done.  I also installed a porch light on the front porch.  The previous one did not match our log home.

Remember our wounded warriors.  Please help us reach our goal of raising $10,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project.  Click the WWP Fundraiser at the top if this page.
