You do, my girl, need to start walking. When we finally started the AT after all our months of preparations it was SUCH a relief. I am anticipating that feeling for you. Whatever didn't get done, doesn't get done and you're on the trail.

I laughed that you are down to one and a half weeks and you "need to figure out how much effort I'm going to put into sending any resupply boxes". I'm guessing at this point it won't be a ton of effort.

You're going to be great. However it works out for you. How ever many miles you complete, how far you get, you will not come back the same :)

And I like what @kyndale says.

As someone who has been there before, try not to worry about all the things you "need" to do. Once on the trail, they won't matter. You will find a way to get everything done you actually need to get done and everything else truly doesn't matter. Good luck.

@reneetougas now that I don't have any more school or work responsibilities I feel a lot less stressed. I'm sure it's all going to ramp up again the day or two before... I'm only planning on sending boxes to 3 places, mostly just snow gear/maps and some food to supplement what's there to buy. So, you're right, not much effort involved. :D

@pathfinder thanks for the advice! I'm definitely taking this whole planning thing as minimally as I can. All of the people who are going crazy with the planning just stress me out...
