Day one 3/16/10

So here I am. First day on the trail. 8.8 miles down and only 2,170 to
go. Roger the ridgerunner on Springer said I was #11 today and #100
and something since he has been up there. All the trail log books
spoke of deep snow just a few days ago, so I think I picked the
perfect day to start because it's gorgeous!
Met a lot of nice people on the trail. Most of which have a MUCH
heavier pack than me. Poor them.
Got to my destination really early and thought about continuing but
the next place with water was 6 miles away. I am trying not to overdo
it these first few days, so here I stay. I go to sleep now.
