Restarting the Trail

Once again, in the spirit of the American, I head west. Heading back to california in the morning to re-start the trail. The only thing different this time is that i will not come home unless its an emergency. if i lose my phone, camera, or any other unnessecary item then i won't stop. I'll just keep going until i can get to a major city to replace it. I got the numbers of some of my friends in cali so i can get ahold of them when i get their areas. I'm excited again, but this time i'm a little more knowledgable about the trail, and how i should do things. I dropped some wieght from my pack, got another water botter that holds half a gallon of water, and made more space in my pack. so i should have a lighter better pack to hike with. Can't wait to once again see the sunset and sunrise over the mountains and lakes. I'll feel the chill of the morning air and hear the crisp sound of frost underfoot. hopefully everything goes well and i make it pretty far until my brother picks me up somewhere in northern California or Oregon. Wish me luck, again...
