I have a bit of a problem on my hands! I find it quite the task to condense everything that I own and have to live off of for the next seven years to under 40 pounds :{ It has been a couple days now and I still don't have it all figured out. I am afraid to weigh the pack but I know it is inevitable. Let's just hope it is under 40 because I am not sure what I can leave behind!
 The past couple weeks at home have been good. I have done 4 presentations to churches and schools but for now I am just focused on leaving Canton on Wednesday morning from Akron/Canton Airport to fly down to Atlanta to meet up with Chris and Marissa Dove. They are going to walk the first few days which I am extremely excited about.
Seeing family is good but I am sure that the emotions are going to get a bit more intense over the next week...I am sure that you will hear more about it.
I am still on target for March 8th from Dahlegona, GA. where I will take my first step at 10:30am. This is so wild... I remember when the countdown started and when it said "365 days until The Earth Expedition begins"... now it is 7! People ask me all of the time "Are you nervous?" My answer is "no" I have learned a long time ago not to worry about the things that you have no control over. Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Just wasted energy in my mind.
My sponsors are great. I have been receiving all of the gear that I need to make this expedition successful. Check them out: SPONSORS
I am getting close to selling out of my t-shirts... Mens small and mediums are gone and the rest are about ready to go. If you want one then you can order them through this site: E2 STORE
My plan is to write on the night of the 7th before I take off... Thanks for following. If you would like to reach me you can contact me at Daren(at)theearthexpedition(dot)com.
A special thanks to Steve and Peg Stamen for making this sign for the expedition! Thank you!
"Life to the Fullest" Daren
