The last week has been amazing! We have spent some time with family in Charleston, SC and we couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We don't have too many pictures to share with you since we don't have our smart phones or a computer to pull images from our cameras. So you will have to wait until June for a few of those.
Vacations never happen without a few mishaps and this one was no different. Most were a few minor things like realizing I forgot my boot insoles in Michigan, and having a rental car with expired license plates. But, one that threw us for a loop was when the mighty Atlantic stole Evan's glasses. For those of you who don't know Evan well, he is essentially blind without his trusty specs, so it made for a pretty rough couple of days. Luckily he did have a spare pair back in Michigan, so we had a family friend overnight them to the rental house in Charleston. Whew! Major crisis averted.
Tomorrow is the big day! It is also May Day- the day when Morris dancers dance the sun up and bring in the summer and, well, Evan and I are pretty avid Morris Dancers. Although our goal is to start as close to sunrise as possible, in reality I am not sure how well it is going to work. We are planning to do a short dance before starting out on the trail as a nod to our tradition of dancing the sun up. Evan's sister (who along with her husband are dropping us off at the trailhead) is hopefully going to post a video of our dance with a few pictures of our first steps so this is the last you will hear from us in the first person for a while.
May 1
Stacy here, Evan's older sister. Unfortunately I'm having trouble posting the video of Evan and Carolyn doing a May Day dance before we sent them on up the trail. We do have photos, but for the full video you'll have to check Facebook.
Even after just a few hours of sleep, the four of us headed to the southern trailhead bright and early on May 1. The sun was shining, but for us Arizonans it was chilly! Evan and Carolyn registered with the Visitor's Center and then they were off.
Goodbye and safe travels!
