Post #1

This is my first update to my blog. Being out here in the Georgia countryside I thought it would be warmer than it is up in Vermont. But from what I've found it's been very cold and not very stereo typical southern weather. Today's the first day I've worn shorts since I've gotten here. My first three days there was a lot of rain and sleet, And it's sunny and warmer today but then the whole rest of the week is going to be wet and rainy. I've found listening to my little radio while hiking to be helpful in getting up hills. The only problem with it is that when I try to listen to NPR, the Georgia bible stations block it out. It's Part of the trouble of being in the deep South I guess. I was doing some last-minute shopping for food at a super Walmart I found a 2 pound block of Cabot Vermont cheddar cheese.I love being able to have a slice of cheese at lunch and mixing it in with the macaroni and cheese for dinner. There are a lot of hikers starting at the same time as me so there are people to meet and socialize with. Unfortunitly service on ATT has been spotty. This is my 6th day and I'm having a fabulous time.

Fog where you can't see much more the 30ft infront of you
