Well I fly out tomorrow, Saturday May 2nd, 2009 to Roanoke Va. My great hike starts sunday and will go till about august 20th. 1718 miles. And to think, last time I was in Damascus was two years ago and I was 19 years old. Im excited and am glad things have come together whether they were in the original plan or not. Beau Craparo, my friend from high school, is picking me up and driving me to the trail and I'll see him again in two or three weeks in Lexington Virginia. Graham is not coming with me anymore, although there is some talk of him joining me in a couple of weeks from now. Im ready and have my gear packed. My pack weighs right around 25 lbs. loaded down with food and water. Im starting with a quick pace and should be able to handle a schedule of 15-20 miles a day by the second week. Time to go finish packing and planning. Next time we talk, Ill be on the trail. Happy Trails.-Rob Foss
