Looking forward to following along. Super curious how you can keep calories up eating that way. I like going stoveless but it's difficult to get enough calories unless you truly cold soak (which seems complicated and annoying). I've done some meals of instant potatoes, etc but haven't found a good solution.
We get a lot of calories from gorp, good quality bread, cheese, and peanut butter. Sometimes fatty meats like salami. It's monotonous, but I seem to do okay with it. And of course, gorging while in town. :)
So super excited as you prepare to head out. I am currently in the old mountains of East Tennessee and you both inspire me and my niece Madeline ... will follow you all the way!

I'm looking forward to hearing about your adventures. Have a great time!
Thank you!
I’m hoping you find some tiny bit of unexpected beauty every day. Serendipity is the gift of all travel.

Excited to follow along with both you! And thanks to Shane for the amazing trail map. Every long journey. . .
Thank you, it's so awesome to feel supported by you!
Starbucks via instant coffee packets are the closest thing I've found to decent coffee while backpacking!
So excited for you both and can't wait to read all about it! Thank you for sharing your journey!
Thanks!

I'm so glad you are in such a beautiful place right now. Thanks for cheering us on!
You two are absolute rockstars. Go gettem!
But you actually are.
Yay! The North West Passage, eh... sorry, Trail will never be the same again!
Ah, for just one time
I would take the Northwest Passage
---------------------------------------
Through a land so wild and savage
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.
Gonna have to brush up on all the lyrics to that one so I can sing it while hiking! It's such a satisfying one to belt out!
Sorry, Jessica, if I triggered your earworm for the next few months. I know from experience that Gail is unstoppable (when it comes to song, too!)
Stupid robot... I wrote who breaks first
Fabulous! All the power to you and I will be following to know who breakfast first... jaja
Ha, I think we all know that I will break first! :
