THINKING ABOUT STUFF and more...

So here I am, ready to begin my long walk, and just bagging in little ziplocks all the food that I will be taking and also having shipped to me. I have a mix of all sorts of soups, some jerkys (Costco turkey jerky is really tasty, to my surprise) and made some fruit leathers that I added chia seeds to as an added energy boost. Then there are the Reeses pieces, the few nuts, etc. I am not a fan of G.O.R.P. so I don't want to attempt to pack in a whole bunch of it only to be putting it in a box. I am avoiding foods that even tho are said to be high in energy or calories, I do not dig. I am not such a picky eater and have been known to eat the same breakfast for months on end, so I hope that this will be no different. That will make other food taste so much better to me I guess. On the other hand, I hear that a lot of hikers tire of their food, so we'lll see I guess.

Only now do I realize that my left foot is so messed up. It is hard to explain, because it is not twisted or anthing like that, it just seems to me that I have been relying a lot on my right foot and my left is definitly weaker. I hope it keeps up.

Walk on and safe journey!
