A nice surprise

I went to my mailbox this morning, and to my surprise, I found a package from my aunt! It was an Appalachian Trail calendar filled with pictures of beautiful scenes along the trail. It is the perfect inspiration in these last months leading up to our thru-hike! I'll only get to enjoy the first few months, however, since we'll be hiking for many of the months. I think I'll leave the calendar home with my family with the map that's currently hanging up in my room so that they can follow our progress on the hike!
