A walk in the park...

As most of you know by now I’m planning on attempting a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail this spring/summer. I have taken a leave of absence from my job and set my start date for April 10th and as of right now I don’t think that will change (my parents are kicking me out of their house on April 9th). So since I will be on the trail for  4+ months I have decided to try and keep  a blog to the best of my ability so that friends and family back home can follow my progress as I slowly make my way north.

For those of you who do not know what the Appalachian Trail is I have posted a picture of the trail in its entirety to the left and for a detailed description see the link that follows: 


I will try to update the blog weekly as I come into towns for re-supply and rest. I will write to the best of my ability to describe life on the trail while hitting all the high points and entertaining mishaps of the trip. I hope many of you will follow my trip and I will try to be as detailed as possible in hopes that it will make for a more entertaining read.  
  
Until next time…
