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.

Hello Virginia

We have made it into Virginia, and are spending the night in a motel in Atkins. Here we pick up a resupply box. We have made it past Grayson Highlands with the ponies, and Mt. Rogers, the highest point in VA, and in 6 more days at Pearisburg we will be changing to lighter summer gear. Looks like rainy weather will continue into the week.

    Bulldog is in Pearisburg today. He wants me to send him an inexpensive backpack poncho, says he is soaked and so is his backpack and will take 2 days to dry out. Hope you are having a safe and great time.
