First entree, lets make it a good one. I guess i should throw on a brief summery and my ideas about the up coming adventure. For the following months, before the trail, I'm experiencing Raleigh without school. Honestly I miss it. However i knew i wouldn't like the routine of work, so this comes at no shock. Also it has inspired me to further dream of after graduation plans. What do people do after school if they don't work? So far I've come up with being a bum, becoming that guy in dad's basement, or traveling and living a nomadic life in a culture hidden from most. I think I'll be all 'bummed out' after the trail, and Dad isn't going to let me live in the basement, so i guess by the process of elimination...
The trail is well within two months. I've decided to rock the bivy and a 30 pound sleeping bag. I know I'm pretty excited about the bivy too. On the down side it seems that i have been dislocating my shoulder more and more. Pushing Thomas on a swing doesn't see like it would pop a shoulder out of place. The worst and most recent time involved tackling someone in a snow football game. I know what your thinking pushing Thomas on a swing is a much harder task than tackling Trent. I agree, that's why I'm worried. Past that there are no down sides in the recent trail outlooks.
Sweet, that should take care of the boring update/trail response. The real inspiration of this post is to get some ideas for the 11 days i have between leaving Raleigh and Luke's graduation. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to avoid Morganton, depending on money. I was thinking of going on a solo hike, but i think that I'll be getting enough of that in the upcoming 2300 mile trail. I was thinking Charleston, but i don't think i have anywhere near enough money to sustain an eleven day experience there. And i know its just not the right time to become a nomad. I await your ideas, and just so you know anything is possible, I have been watching a lot of Man vs. Wild.
OK sweet, good post.

Dear ones, I hope my comment finds you both well. Luke, thanks for my key, I wish I could say thanks for the awesome note with it! haha. I'm pumped for your hike/blog, I'm definitely planning on meeting you for a (small) part of it. Whenever ya'll decide for sure when you're leaving let me know, and I'll throw you a graduation/putting off graduation for another year/hike send off party here in Chapel Hill. So Caleb, that can be at least one of your 11 random days. I mean if you really want to you can chill here for the whole 11 random days. We can make apple pies and fruit salad, that's basically my daily routine anyway. Lemme know, seriously, I'm pretty sure I owe ya'll some party times and I still have like 30,000 glowsticks left over from halloween. Ok love ya'll! I Look forward to more exciting blog entries!
