Colorado!

It's Saturday night, I'm taking advantage of free WiFi at Whole Foods to write one last entry before we start the trail tomorrow :)  Waking up in the mountains is amazing, I keep wondering if this is real life?  I've been planning for so long, actually being here is surreal.

My last day of work was Wednesday and I arrives in Colorado on Thursday night.  I was really hoping to figure out a living arrangement for this fall before leaving for the trail, but people on Craigslist are flaky and that didn't happen.  Hopefully it will all work out once we're done hiking.  So far things have worked out very well.

A HUGE thank you to all of my amazing friends who have housed me over the last 2.5 months! I am forever grateful.  (Lindsey, Jenn,  Tiffany, and Rob! You all are awesome!)

I'll have my phone off  (usually no cell service) unless we are in towns for the day (about once every 5 days).  The sun rises much earlier than I'm used to, so we'll be hiking early to take advantage of cooler temperatures.  Its been in the 90s all week, but at least there is no humidity!

I got to do a little climbing before leaving for the hike...this terrified me but I didn't die and it was fun :)

I will post again when we're in Breckenridge!
