Heading out...

Sitting at the computer now, I can hardly think of what to write about. So many thoughts rushing through my head. This is it - the time when words have to be turned into actions. It's been easy to talk about doing this hike but it is now time to commit. My emotions change between being so excited to be out there in the wild, having the adventure of a lifetime and living from moment to moment on our wits and knowledge to being nervous about whether I packed enough batteries for the cameras or if we will find the sustenance to be comfortable on this 125 mile hike. Will I get enough sleep without my comfy camp mattress and will the reflector wall for the fire keep me warm at night? Have I prepared physically enough? I lost 5 pounds from working on Pirates of the Caribbean which most girls would rejoice at but it is not a good state to be in when heading out on a survival hike. But all these things aside, I just want to begin. I want to be doing and exploring and adventuring. My assistant Rachanee will be updating this site with short messages that we can send from the wilds so you the blogs will continue. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all on my return...
