Preparation 4-1-14

Minnesota is having the last laugh this April Fools--woke up to snow and a cold 19 degree morning, after having a lovely 50+ degree day yesterday. I have been hoping to get my tent set up outside (I still need to do some seam-sealing) and get some practice nights under my belt with this new tent and sleeping bag.
Two months still seems  a long way off, and yet I feel the anxiety/excitement building exponentially...

T-Minus: 2 Months before I start the trail.

What I'm currently doing to prepare: Dehydrating food. Dehydrating food. Packing food. Dehydrating food. Breaking in my trail shoes. Buying more food. Making little bags for all my food items/breaking things down into smaller portions.

Distractions: Listening to tons of music and watching plenty of TV. Might as well binge before it's all gone.

Dreams: Had my third dream about being chased by a bear. Could this be my greatest trail fear? Yes. Yes, it is.
