Welcome to our hastily-designed blog covering our trek of half the Appalachian Trail. Due to the nature of this trip, compared to the last time we wrote about our travels, this website will be much more minimalist: less descriptive writing, shorter posts, and fewer pictures. It will function more like a log to keep family and friend notified that we're still breathing somewhere.
We'll be leaving from Springer Mountain, Georgia on March 30 and hope to get to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia by early June, which is nearly half of the entire Appalachian Trail Our A.T. Guide states that the distance is exactly 1,019 miles, and including the one mile backtrack we have to do at the beginning from the parking lot to the starting point, we have 1,020 miles to reach Harpers Ferry. We would love to be able to hike the entire trail, but we'll have to save the second half of the trail for the next time we have several months to kill (with me, who knows, it could very well be in a few years).

The adventure begins. This may be a walk in the woods, but it is no walk in the park. I have been viewing the organic gear that has been stock piled in the house. I have two questions would it all come together? Would it all fit? Oh me of little faith. Magge and Jeff have done a masterful job of pulling it all together. To borrow a phrase from Josh, there is enough stuff for a small African country. I will make a deal with you both. I will walk the 2o miles, you guys take the 1000. Remember a thousand is only a 1 leading three zeros and a zero is nothing. Break a lace
