 On Monday, March 25, 2002 I started my
Appalachian Trail thru-hike. A thru-hiker is some who attempts to hike the
entire 2,168 miles of the Appalachian Trail in one continuous journey.
Stretching from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine,
the trail passes through fourteen states, 2 national parks and 60 state
parks. This web page was designed so that my family and friends can track my progress and share in my journey, as I make my way from Georgia to Maine. This site will be regularly updated so please check back often.
