Adventure

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power" Alan Cohen

He's off

Mike's staying at the Hiker's Hostel outside of Dahlonega, Georgia tonight and they'll shuttle him to the start of the trail on Saturday.  The TC is all closed up until go back to join him...sometime after it hit 100 degrees here.

What does hiking the trail have to do with prospecting you may ask? Well, both are seeking adventure with a possibility of reward for a lot of hard work and perseverance.

Each day he'll hike between 8 and 12 miles to get to the next shelter for the night.  It's a solo trip, though he'll come across other hikers on the trail and at the shelters.  And he'll probably see some creatures too.  Keep him in your prayers.
