One week till the 28 hour plane ride to Auckland NZ. From there I will meet up with my hiking partner Josh from Alabam.http://gohike13.blogspot.com/ . We expect to be at the northern terminus on the 4th of December where the 3000km hike will begin. The first 100 miles will consist of a 90 mile beach walk, which sounds wonderful but seems to be a bit of a challenge regarding the sand and sun. Looking forward to dodging the winter and to continue with the summer for another 4 months!
All ready missing friends and family especially my co-workers from the last fire academie I just attended in Oct/Nov. If you guys are ready this........its about time to throw my pack back on my back and kick some ass!
I decided to start this blog primarly for sharing pictures and journal enrties for all who care to follow this awesome opportunity to life the way it should be. Great pics to come!
