2012 Appalachian Trail Thru Hike

I have been pondering this decision for quite some time. I have told a few people of my intentions, but have still been debating if I should really go through with it. I have finally come to the decision that there will be no perfect time to complete such an endeavor and that putting it off is exactly that - Putting it Off!! With that being said I am officially announcing my intention to walk from Springer Mountain in GA to Mt. Katahdin in Maine along the Appalachian Trail.

I will be posting videos and journal entries in an attempt to not only keep my family and friends updated as to my progress, but also to assist others in there planning for such a trip. Please feel free to post comments regarding the topics I address so others can learn from your experiences. I have spent a lot of time doing research via videos and websites throughout the years as well as practicing my back country skills (while hiking large portions of the southern AT) and hope to put as much information in one place as I can.

Some videos and journals have made more of an impact than others and I hope that this will motivate you in the same way that they motivated me to get out and live life!!!

I thank everyone who takes the time to read my blog and watch my videos!!

Happy Trails!!!
