Making a tough call

Who could have predicted something like this would happen right as we are about to set foot on trail. The decision was made to cancel our flights this Saturday in response to the towns along trail closing town. With the pandemic going around, a six month hike alone in the woods sounds like the best place to be but the logistics aren't as easy.
On our 3 hour long conference call, the four of us landed on three options: leave this weekend, wait it out, or try again next year. We flip flopped through the ideas about 10 times. If we went as originally planned, we would need to send all resupply boxes to make up for the shortages in trail towns. Raechel and Krista were depending on the stores in town, so we came up with option two which would allow a few weeks for them to buy food and put together those boxes. But even with all the food sent out ahead, there would still barely be anyone to meet on trail and no one to give us a hitch into town. The trail towns' basically shutting down would take half the fun out of the experience. In my opinion, it would be better to wait a full year for life to go back to normal. I just hope I can get my job back if we call it a quits in the next couple weeks.
