Gunstock closed for the season on March 31, 2004. I cleaned out my 
locker, loaded my skis into my truck and brought them home to be 
stored for the next several months.  Next day I repacked my backpack 
for the one hundredth time, said goodbye to my wonderful wife and 
headed south for Connecticut to spend the night at John "Hoover" 
Salcias's house.  On April 2nd, we got up a 3 am and headed south in 
John's car arriving at Pittsburgh's house after 9 PM in Dahlonega, 
Ga.  The next morning Pittsburgh drove us to Amicalola Falls State 
Park where my amazing adventure began.  Hoover hiked with me for one 
week then had to head home to go back to work.
