Not Quite Thru: Appalachian Trail 2012

It may look like fun, but an AT thru-hike is a full time job

Two longtime solo hikers discover the magic of togetherness

Our first interstate crossing since starting our hike

As rain turns to snow, the hazards of foul weather backpacking become clear

You don't need to fly to touch the sky

Saying goodbye to the Appalachian Trail

As seen in Dahlonega, here we are at the AT Kickoff event for thru-hiker season.

A gradient of blue hues paint the ridges of the Appalachians

Building a bridge between the hiking community and local residents

A mile high mountain with a grassy crown

Does this rock make my butt look small?

Bless the shuttle drivers, for the stink they put up with
