My gear is almost finalized.

My pack fully loaded with (almost) everything except food and water.  I still need a few odds and ends.  I need sunglasses, a hat for daily wear that I don't feel stupid in.  I'm not much of a hat person to start with but I think I would like one to keep the sun out of my eyes and reduce sunburn.  I need to flush out my first aide kit add a pair of rain pants.  I'm still not sure about the rain pants.  I have a lightweight pair of wind pants that are not water proof but might just let my legs get wet.  The only thing I am afraid of is being too cold early in the trip if it get wet (and it will).

I'll do a full gear post when its finalized!.  Only five days to go!  I leave NJ on the 4th and am on the trail the morning of the 6th.
