Getting Ready for the Hike
GarageMan and I are sitting in our easy chairs listening to the radio and reading forums and PCT pages. The local temp is -6 with a forecast for -30 tonight. The temps here in Fairbanks make it difficult to keep in shape by walking, but we've been swimming at the local Granny Pool (warmer) so that's something. We've planned a shakedown hike to help us wait until May.We also have a trail journal on trailjournals.com (http://www.trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?trailname=11163) if we fall behind here. I suspect different audiences- that one is for family and friends, this one is for other hikers. My gear list is there, GarageMan's is here. You can also read about our adventures and misadventures on the A.T. there.
