2 Months and Counting...

2009 is coming to a close and I have just 2 months left before departing for Springer Mountain. For the most part, preparation is done: resupply boxes for the first half of the trip are prepped and delivered to my parents, gear is pretty much settled, and mentally I am ready to go. But, I still have to get everything in order with the "real-world" (bills, taxes, work, etc.) before I begin the hike. So, that will still keep me plenty busy. As far as warm-up trips, I am planning on 2 more remaining...one being a snowshoe hike next week in VT and another being a trip somewhere in PA/NJ with some people from whiteblaze. I am sure these next 2 months are going to fly by.
