Test Post

Testing for visibility. For anyone who sees this and plans to comment throughout the hike, please leave a comment below or make a profile so you can interact with the blog for the next 4 months. Posts of the hike will begin on the 20th or 21st of February since we officially begin on the 21st.

Just to note, you don't need an account to view the blog, but if you want to comment at any point you'd need one I believe.

Looking forward to sharing this journey with everyone. 

Thanks, 
Tyler.

Day 0

Good evening. We are now officially back on trail. And as for Spencer, he's on trail for the first time. It's good to be back! Our time line for the day was as follows: Woke up at 5:15  Started driving at 6:05 Left Kristina at 6:35 Met Walker and Spencer at 6:36 Learned that Walker left his phone with Ashley at 6:37 Ashley came back at 6:48 Checked a bag and got through security by 7:10 Finished breakfast by 7:45 Boarded at 8:00 Got on the runway at 8:10 Took off at 8:22 Landed at 10:33 Got picked up at 11:10 Got dropped off at amicalola at 12:50 Started hiking at 1:15 Finished hiking by 4:30 Had camp set up by 4:45 Finished the blog by: right now Before I start talking about the trail, the whole concept that we as humans just fly around in metal boxes and view it as completely normal is mind boggling.

You never quite know what can change over the course of 4 years, and in reality, something unforeseen could happen any second. As I've mentioned time and time again (for those who know me well), being outdoors leaves me with an aura of wonder and superiority.
