So if you've been following this journal, you may have noticed that between yesterday and today there is a discrepancy between the days until Amicalola. This is because I made an error figuring up the days last Monday. Since today is Wednesday, and the day we start our hike is also a Wednesday, that means our number should be a multiple of seven (since March 25 will be Hike Day). As such, I dropped from 73 to 70. I won't go back and correct the previous posts, but from now on we'll be using the right numbers.
