The Journey Begins

Chris and Meghans Excellent Adventure

     Well Chris and Meghan finally began their trip Saturday. They left Danville at 6:00 AM and arrive at Old Forge about 11:00 AM. There to wish them well, were Jackie and I (Chris's mom and dad), Dave and Karen (Meghans mom and dad) and Meghans grandparents (Doug and Marge), all who made the five hour trip. Old Forge seems to be a long ways out in the middle of nowhere. It is a busy little tourist town, a remote outpost of waterborne, wilderness, fishing and camping activity. Very fitting for the Western terminus of the NFCT.
     Put-in at the town dock was just about noon. First time in the water always takes longer, getting all your gear in the boat, organized, and tied down. Than of course pictures, hugs and well wishes.
