We Have Liftoff

The liftoff was at 08.26 hours. I hiked the access trail to Springer Mountain. The trail was rugged and gained over 1800 feet in altitude. I set up camp about 3:30 and had dinner. Dinner consisted of pouring boiling water over a bag of pasta. Yum, yum! I guess I will have to get used to the re-hydrated fare of the trail. Wireless connections seem OK so far.
