As we prepare…….. WE PREPARE MORE!!!!!

March 14, 2015 by Johnny Adventure 1 Comment

I have not yet begun my adventure. Yet I know what it takes. Is that arrogant of me? Some might say yes but i have found in my time that most people who are nay sayers and doubters tend to be those who have not fully thought ahead. Not just of what they might like […]

Zero Day in Moxie Bald Shelter – AT Thru-Hike Day 18

July 10, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

I decided not to leave Moxie Bald lean-to today. When I woke up, the rain was falling hard. Wane No and Brooks left for Caratunk. I stayed in my sleeping bag and fell back asleep. I soon awoke with a stomach cramp. I just made it to the privy on time. I think I caught […]

Location: Outside Monson, Maine Tim and I hike most of the day together. The hike was wet and messy. The rain fell off and on. When we were coming down Barren early in the day, Tim and I followed Eric, who led us off the trail and a mile down an overgrown fire lane that […]

Nearly Killed by Lightning on the Appalachian Trial – AT Thru-Hike Day 12

June 26, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Cloud Pond Greg began south again at first light, which here comes at around 5:00am. The sun had not yet risen, but this far north, gray light appears hours before sunrise. I left the lean-to before Tim and Eric. The day began beautifully. I knew that I wouldn’t have water for the last five […]

My Simple Secret to Successfully Thru-Hike Appalachian Trail – AT Thru-Hike Day 10

June 21, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Sell your care before the adventure.

Location: Newhall Shelter Joe and Max left before me this morning. They planned 16 miles and I only planned nine, so I doubt I’ll ever see them again. On the last descent of the day, Greg caught up to me. I have to slow down on the manmade rock stairs on the mountain. While nature […]

Katahdin Stream Campground – AT Thru-Hike Day 1

May 31, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Katahdin Stream Campground Mom and I drove for nearly two hours through Baxter State Park. We weren’t sure exactly where to go, so we didn’t get to the campground until the early afternoon. My hike will be postponed one more day. Tomorrow, if the weather allows it, I’ll summit Mt. Katahdin and return here […]

Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike Video – Trail Name Wayward

May 30, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Here is a video I compiled from some of the pictures from my thru-hike. It’s amazing that they trip was only a few years ago, but it was before ubiquitous smartphones with quality cameras. All pictures were taken with crumby disposable cameras that were wet and worn from hiking. I hope you enjoy the images […]
