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 […]

The Appalachian Trail Community – AT Thru-Hike Day 48

September 13, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Location: Garfield Ridge I could have slept forever in that attic. With the amount of food around me, I probably could have lived there at least a year. The small window faced west so the sun hardly lit the small room. The clanging and clanking of pots and pans from beneath the wood floor told […]

I left Shaw’s alone today around 2:00pm. I only had to hike eight miles to the next shelter. The Nerd Herd, as Tim calls them, a group that we met on the trail, left early in the morning for Moxie Bald. Tim and Eric returned to highway 15 to restart their hike. I decided to […]

Meeting My First Fellow Thru-Hikers – AT Thru-Hike Day 8

Location: Unknown Shelter I got more than I bargained for by wishing for a person to visit the shelter. Almost immediately as I zipped into my sleeping bag for a late evening nap, a kid of 10 or 11 years raced around the corner, shouting into a two way radio. I thought, ‘Oh Lord, here […]

Coldest Shower On Appalachian Trial – AT Thru-Hike Day 7

Location: Cooper Brook Falls The walk to Cooper Brook falls was uneventful and easy. It only took an hour and a half or so. I have completed my chores, and the sun will be up for a good while. I think I should start hiking for longer periods of time, yet it is hard to […]

AT Thru-Hike Story Introduction – Day 0

May 29, 2013 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Southbound Appalachian Trail thru-hiker at Mount Rogers

The story that follows is the transcription of the daily journal that I kept while southbound thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) from Maine to Georgia over a 165 day period. I have largely resisted the urge to edit and revise the original manuscript so that the story better reflects the best and worst realities of […]
