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 9

Wednesday, April 12, 1989

I took advantage of the sun today to stop early and dry out my tent. I had to elevate the feet for a while to try and reduce the swelling of the Achilles Tendon. It is still bothering me just a little bit. Karl (Cameraman) showed up late tonight and I got a beer from him. It was left over from his trip into town last night. I guess the Traveling Willbury's couldn't handle it all! I hope to put in a fairly long one tomorrow, but I guess the feet will tell. Boy that beer was good!
