I am so excited!!  We are finally in Shenandoah Valley.  The last few days we were driving through windy, overcast weather. It’s clear that nobody told the Mid-South that Winter was over.  Frankly it was a little depressing, especially after leaving sunny San Diego.  

This morning we woke up to perfect weather.  We could not have ordered a more beautiful day for hiking.  As much as Paul is ready to get going, we opted to wait a couple of days to officially start.  Personally I am happy not to start on April Fool’s Day.  This gives me some time to do some recon of the area.  It’s one thing to see it on a map, it’s entirely different to visit a site and make adjustments accordingly.  

We plan for Paul to start on Sunday.  I think we will have a copy of the same weather as today.  To put things in perspective, Paul is going to start hiking on the first day of baseball season.  We anticipate him finishing around the time of the World Series.  That’s a lot of walking!

You can look forward to more posts as soon as we get our home base/command center operational.
