Less Than 24 hours to take off

After many changes and second guessing the gear selection is over.  Probably would have continued to stress over the right selections but ran out of time.  I think I am in a good place.  Thanks Deborah, Drew and Dave for the advice and information.

Did a final trial packing of my backpack.  I got everything to fit!  I’m looking at a little over 33 pounds.

Clothes and gear were treated with permethrin last week to keep those pesky insects away.  Hope it works as advertised.

Smoky Mountain Backcountry Permit is also in hand so I won’t need to worry about getting it on the trail.

Travel connections (flight, MARTA and shuttle) to Amicolola are secured for Tuesday as is accommodation at the Lodge at Amicolola Falls.

It begins on Wednesday!🏕
