2008 Adventure

Most of you who read my blog probably have already heard about our 2008 adventure, so this is for those of you who haven't heard yet!
Around April 1st, James & I are going to attempt to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail or the A.T. The idea arose while in NC for the holidays and several conversations about what we were going to do with our lives. The idea originated from James & I quickly took to it. His first thought was to do a few months but after we read about it, we realized that we have the time to attempt the whole thing...which by the way is 2,175 miles-so that's the plan. We are currently researching gear & I am working toward dehydrating meals for the trip. It's actually quite complicated but I won't bore you with details...just keep in mind it's food planning for at least 5 1/2 months. :) We will be starting in Georgia (Springer Mountain) & hopefully making it to Maine (Mt. Katahdin) by the end of September or before. Who knows what will happen but it will be an adventure for sure. Until next time...
