OT-Appalachian Trail

[bbcard1]

I love Devil's Marbleyard on the AT near Natural Bridge...good as it gets! Did Dragon's tooth with my hound dog last fall...he slept the whole next week.

Holy Crap, what a great accomplishment for anybody.

My family usually hikes every weekend and we've talked about the Appalachian Trail but never dreamed about being able to do the whole thing.

My goal for now is to get up to Mount Washington in New Hampshire in the next year and pick a trail to hike to the top and back.

Bill Bryson wrote a great book called " A walk in the Woods" about his hike on the Appalachian Trail.

I was just thinking about that (Bryson's book). He didn't make it all the way. Parts of it were very funny, especially his encounter with a bear where he almost sh*ts his pants.

I did a few days on the AT a couple of years ago. I started at Bear Mountain park in NY. Anybody who puts that kind of time and dedication into completing the AT is an animal in my mind. Great work, Gary!

I'm not sure if this counts....in my younger days when I was in the Air Force (stationed in Northern Maine)
I combined driving with hiking from the Delaware Water Gap (PA) to Mt. Katahdin in Maine (the Northern-
most tip of the AT).

Quite an adventure and scenery.

I've walked sections of the trail in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts and Maine (Katahdin is really spectacular, much of it above the treeline) but to do the whole thing or even as much as you have done already is a tremendous accomplishment, at any age.
