Plan for today: Leave work around 4 (hopefully). Pick up car at shop. Take short nap. Pack car. Drive to Parents’ home in Maryland.

Tomorrow I will leave MD by 8 and arrive at the Hiker Hostel in Dahlonega, GA by 10pm (driving). I’ll spend the night there and in the morning get a ride to the trail head at Springer Mt. The hostel will let me leave my car there while I hike.

Two weeks later, I hope to arrive at Fontana Dam, NC and get a ride back to Dahlonega to pick up the car. Depending on the time, I will either drive straight to NYC, or stop by my parents’ place for dinner.

It’s that two weeks in between that is most uncertain.
