Appalachian Trail

The Appalachian Trail is a 2185.9 mile long footpath stretching from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine. Every Spring, hikers from all over head to Georgia and start walking north, attempting to hike the whole trail in one season. This is called a thru-hike. Only about 25% make it all of the way.

This blog follows our progress as we hike north.

I think I have all of the sewing finally done as of today, Saturday, one day before we leave home for the trail. After sewing two hammocks, two tarps, two backpacks, two vests, two wind jackets, two wind pants, various stow bags and pack liners, and one mosquito head net, I will say without hesitation that sewing is not something that I will be missing while on the trail.  Time for the sewing machine to get put away.  Next: a six month gear test.
