On the East Coast

It's 2:30AM in Pittsburgh and Lauren and I just finished waterproofing some of our stowbags and rain mitts. We're here enjoying some time with my family, while making final preparations.

After a a nonstop weekend of work fueled by Armenian coffee, Monday morning we wrapped up details in L.A. and moved the last of our things from our apartment. At noon we boarded our plane at LAX, caught a layover in Atlanta (where ironically we'll be starting the trail next weekend) and then were greeted by my dad when we arrived in Pittsburgh.

The last week has been a whirlwind of activity and logistical planning, which I hope to write about soon.
