Summary

Leaving Maine to head to Georgia to start my thruhike!

Ahhhhhhhh!!! I'm leaving Maine today to head to Georgia. My whole family is accompanying me on my journey to the approach trail (how sweet).

Feelings today: Nervous!Anxious! Excited! Ready.

Honestly it all just feels really surreal. I said goodbye to everyone that I see everyday but it really just felt like see you later.

The hardest part was, of course, saying goodbye to Bonnie & Clyde.

Thankfully they're in good hands (thanks Mom and Dad). But I hate saying goodbye.

Tomorrow: We go to Walmart to stock up on food and batteries! I'll tell you guys all about it.
