Excitement is building at the Palmquist house as Michelle and I are making last minute preparations for our most ambitious outdoor trip yet with my brother Chris. Today we made after-work trips to both Cabelas and Backwoods for last minute items including rain jackets to help us handle the predicted rain that we will be facing.
This will be our second over-night backpacking trip, having successfully hiked 20 miles on the Ozark Highlands Trail in Arkansas during Spring Break. Although we gained some confidence from this first trip, we still face a lot of unknowns. How many miles will we cover each day? Will we have enough food? Will the mosquitoes carry us away? Will we hear banjo music on the trail? Am I in good enough shape for this?
I am so glad we get to follow you on this trip through this blog! GOOD LUCK!
