Getting Ready for the AT | TCH Travel

If all goes according to plan I will be at Springer Mountain Shelter this time 2 weeks from now. From Amicalola Falls State Park the shelter is 8.2 miles and 3,500 vertical feet elevation gain. Though my backpack weighs at least 40 pounds and may be 45 pounds at times, I hope that my training will allow me to make it to the AT southern terminus without too much difficulty and pain.

This week and next I am finishing up on all the loose ends, visiting with friends, and getting some primo care from my chiropractor, massage therapist, and acupuncturist. If you live in metro Denver, you will want to give these fine health care practitioners a call and you don?t have to be training for a six-month, 2200 mile backpacking adventure either.

For your convenience I am listing my providers and their contact information:

Chiropractor: Dr. David Rawlings has been my chiropractor since 1995, and I see him monthly for maintenance or in case of an accident or fall. 303 696-1800.

Massage Therapist: Nicholas Rostocil has offices in NW Denver and Arvada. He can be reached at 720 231-7560.

Acupuncturist: Michelle Kingsley is located at Lotus Studio and can be contacted directly at 303 408-2990.

On Wednesday I am getting my hair cut and I am happy to have Ashley Sterling at The Parlour cut it really short for my journey because I was very happy with the way she cuts it regularly. You can make an appointment with her by calling 303 733-0016.

I am fortunate to have such excellent health care providers helping to get me ready.

This week I am also finishing up getting my Spot Connect contact group ready to receive my regular posts with my AT location. If you would like to receive the email please post your name and email address as a comment (they will not be posted on line). After I verify your email address I will add it to my contact group. This is very time sensitive, so do it today!
