I thought a little John Denver would be appropriate for our travel to Appalachia on Tuesday!!! I can't believe we leave so soon!! Can't wait!
John's bags may have been packed but mine aren't quite yet. I am still using my pack for some training hikes but I am packing it all up today. My guest room looks like REI burst inside it. How is this all going to fit in my bag and more importantly, how am I gonna pack all this crap for 200 miles??? As our departure day gets nearer, I find myself second guessing the packing list that Tootsie and I (well mostly Tootsie here!!!) put together. I've already added a poncho, an extra set of socks, and a pair of sleeping shorts!! I'm getting lots of advice on more stuff to as as well. My pile just keeps getting bigger!!
But where do I stop? Should I bring more clothes in case we get rained on? More fuel in case we use too much between stops? Different types of bug spray? When I start down this rabbit hole, I feel like well why not add a hand blender or a cheese straightener while I'm at it!!! Ha! I just need to stick to my list and if I don't have it, I don't need it. We aren't going to have all the luxuries of staying at home, and I don't think that is the point of this trip anyway. I hope that once we are out there, we will be glad we stuck to the bare(ish) necessities.
