Well, today starts with black ice, transitions into rain and warmth, and we should see accelerating melt of the snow pack. This will make for a pretty messy mix out there. Be prepared for pretty much every trail surface condition imaginable, other than dry!
The sanding trucks are whipping by on Olean Street so take that into consideration.
Today GWLT's Ted starts his hike on the Appalachian Trail at Springer Mountain. He spent last night at a hiker hostel on Mount Dahlonega. We expect a report in from him and will be posting his progress over the coming days, weeks and months at tedatgwlt.blogspot.com The GWLT logo will begin the slow march north thanks to Ted. Good luck Ted!
