She has a pack, sleeping bag and pad, and got her boots yesterday.  The plan is to do a 3-5 day section hike starting at Springer on March 31st.  We’ll be right in thick of thru hiker bubble.  For those that don’t know must thru hikers (those attempting to hike trail from beginning to end in 6 months or less) usually start in March and April.   Being that Adas spring break is when it is we get to play pretend thru hikers for a few days.   All that aside we need to be prepared so had to test new boots and get some miles in today.  Ada rocked out our 6 miles like a champ hauling a 17 pound bag.   We’ll see how she feels tomorrow.   Did an out and back hike today in wekiva springs.   So far so good.  Still need to put the final touches on our plan such as where are we going to stay post hike to pamper ourselves.   So today’s outing is the beginning of our adventure together.    My continuation of the section hike I started last year with Derek will also resume.  Yes I’m repeating miles.  So what!
