Got my Gear!

My gear arrived from REI last week. I got an REI Roadster 1 person tent, and the Mojave 10-degree sleeping bag. My base pack weight is going to be about 12 pounds without food or water, which is pretty good. Fully loaded it should be under 30 pounds, which is sweet!

Just 25 more days!

Welcome!

Welcome to 2000miler.net!

My name is Signor Felice (Mr. Happy) and this January I will begin my journey to become a 2000-miler -- a thru hiker of the Appalachian Trail. I'll be starting at Springer Mountain in Georgia and hiking northbound to Katahdin, Maine.

I will be updating this trail journal as close to daily as possible.

Also, please check out Overdue Karma, a free social commentary e-zine for which I am the editor in chief.
