Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday. The girls and I traveled up and down the East Coast visiting relatives and playing tourist at various cities. We're finally back in New Hampshire. Our weekly White Mountain hikes will resume this month; trip reports will be posted on our main blog, www.trishalexsage.com.
I can't post much in the way of readying ourselves for the JMT until I secure our permits. We can't secure our permits until 24 weeks before our intended departure date. Everybody and their brother wants to hike the JMT during the same weeks we want to hike it, so I'm a bit nervous about being able to reserve those permits...once those permits are indeed secured, I can relax and move forward with all the other planning details. Therefore, almost all the prep posts for this trip will be written after February 2014. The superstitious part of me worries I'll jinx everything if I write any prep posts before those permits are set in stone.
One thing I can say is that we'll continue to hike the Whites from now until the time we leave for California. I call those little adventures "training hikes," but really, they're just our usual weekly mountain hikes. As mentioned above, you can see the trip reports for our White Mountain hikes at www.trishalexsage.com.
Don't forget about Feeding America! At the end of this month, we'll have reached about 30% of our goal. Once our permits our secured, I'll start getting more aggressive with my fundraising pitches. :) You can still donate in the meantime, though!
Happy hiking,
Trish
