Hello! This map of the Appalachian Trail (AT) will be the beginning of my journey as far as flickr photos go. I will be thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail starting March 24th at Springer Mountain in Georgia, hiking northbound to Mount Katahdin in Maine - 2,175 miles! Tomorrow I will board a over night Amtrak train bound for Gainesville Georgia. I'll be picked up by the hikers hostel and shuttled to Dahlonega, GA where I will spend Tuesday night at the Hiker's Hostel (www.hikerhostel.com/index.php). On Wednesday March 24th, 2010, I will start my hike from Springer Mountain! I tired really hard to write a blog but realize, and if you know me, I'd much rather show you pictures then talk about it, so check back regularly for updates. Depending on how frequently I'm able to access a computer - I should be able to upload photos every week or so.
