5 Dangers that Could Kill You Hiking the 100 Mile Wilderness

July 31, 2014 by Mark Kelley 23 Comments

This sign is at the beginning of the 100 Mile Wilderness, the notorious one hundred mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail from Monson, Maine to Katahdin: Of the 2,000+ plus miles of the Appalachian Trail, this may be the most ominous sign, aside from perhaps the warning message scribbled hastily on paper and affixed to […]

Sell your care before the adventure.

Location: Beech Mountain, NC I took yesterday off to spend with family. I said goodbye to Chris, Sarah, Liza, and Winn this morning.

AT Thru-Hiker on a zero day

Backpacking into Tennessee – Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike Day 142

Location: Double Springs Shelter, Tennessee I left Damascus today in the hot morning. I was dragging all day. Having slack-packed for two days, I felt that I wasn’t going to reach the top of the first mountain with a full pack pulling down on my shoulders. Shortly after leaving town, I met Cold Feet slack-packing […]

Hiking into Damascus on appalachian trail

Location: Damascus, VA (Mount Rogers Hostel) I have new boots. Mom brought three pairs from REI in Raleigh, and one pair fits me.
