Yesterday was great. I felt about 100' tall. Everyone was so nice in wishing me well that I feel all warm and fuzzy. I will miss the Law School greatly, it has been such a nice place to work. I have to run back there later today though since I just realized I accidentally brought some keys home with me.
I got a lot of questions and I thought I should create a little faq for people reading along. The first is "Are you going alone?" Yes I am but I m sure I will make many friends as I hike. Thousands of people hike the AT every year and I am sure I will see many of them at some point. The next is how will stay in touch? I plan on using two basic systems that both depend on phones, the pocket mail to read/send email and phone cards to make calls. Another common question is were I will get food. I plan to carry about one weeks food at a time. When get into town I will buy food in addition to checking my mail, doing laundry, and showering. This seems pretty reasonable since there is a road crossing most days that one can hitch ride into town from.
That is all for now but if you have any other questions please feel free to post them to the blog.

I just assumed that Tim would hike with some other people as crazy as himself. I did hking myself for a while. Sometimes I felt scared, but it gave me time for thinking about myself and listening to all different sounds from the nature and I came to love anyone who I met by change on the trail. I will look forward to reading your journal.
