Away I Go

29 June 2009 · 4 Comments

I’m here at the airport, finally on my way! It was a whirlwind weekend trying to get everything ready. Yesterday I had my ceremonial last hair cut (see picture), it feels really good. It’s been a few years since I’ve had a buzz cut, so it’s still a litttle shocking when I see my head in the mirror.

Anyways, my dad and I are flying Manchester, NH, then taking a cab in to Boston, then taking a train up to Portland to spend the night. We’ll rent a car and drive up to the trailhead in Baxter State Park tomorrow morning and start walking. Turns out the the forecast calls for rain for about the first two weeks…let’s hope my rain gear holds out.
