My trip along the Appalachian Trail

This is a diary of sorts from the past that chronicles my journey across the Appalachian Trail in 1989. The Appalachian Trail is a continuous hiking path that extends from Georgia to Maine, and is over 2100 miles of some extraordinary hiking that traverses 14 states. This trip was the fullfillment of a lifelong dream. I hope not only to relive this dream in the pages of this blog, but I hope to take you along as well. So put on your hiking boots and enjoy the trip!

Day 1



Tuesday, April 4, 1989
Well,--- I'm finally here! I haven't reached the beginning of the Appalachian Trail itself yet, but that will come tommorrow. After Ron dropped me off in the Amicalola State Park I did try to begin the trail, or I should say get to the beginning of the trail, but my attempt was foiled by (of all things) a TORNADO! I went back to the visitor house soaking wet. Soaking wet already and I hadn't been on the trail more than 30 minutes. I waited for the rain to stop, hiked to the campground, and here I am. This is GREAT!
