Zone Perfect is here, we arrived in Jackson to 32 cases of Zone Perfect Bars. Nearly 100 bars of both Strawberry Yogurt and Chocolate Peanut Butter. I prefer the latter but imagine it won’t make a ton of difference when push comes to shove. We are debating whether or not to put them in our first resupply in fear it might be a gooey mess eating them in the dessert heat, but I suppose that is part of the fun. Thanks again Zone Perfect for your generous supply and don’t fret we’ll share.
In all the midst of final preparations and logistical considerations we have not forgotten about our mission behind inspireout and a contributing motivation to accomplishing this trek. Yesterday at my 6-month dental checkup I updated my dentist with my upcoming plans for the next 6 months and his jaw nearly fell on my shoulder as I relaxed in the reclined position. He was definitely curious and by the end of my check-up Melissa had peaked the interest of the women behind the front desk and we shared a business card with them as well. We are hoping that people continue to share about inspireout as we embark on the trail and hope that we inspire a few along the way. Speaking of being inspired, second time PCT (2009) thru-hiker Avo motivated me to donate a few bucks to his cause HikeStrong and in exchange he has placed a few words on his backpack; I chose to recognize my mother for her courageous battle (see photo below.) Thank you all for your support, be well and see you out there.
