Novices. Experts. Students. Retirees.
An impromptu community is created along the Appalachian Trail.
One of the things that excites us about the Appalachian Trail are all the wonderful people we are going to meet along our journey. Today I met Don's Brother who is also going to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail this year. We met for a hike at Standing Boy State Park, and the weather couldn't have been better. I was introduced to Don's Brother thru a mutual friend, Reggie--who always is in the know, and I couldn't pass up an opportunity to compare notes.
He is a super great guy with over 1,000 miles of Appalachian Trail hiking under his belt. His gear is similar to what we have which is encouraging (K and I don't want to be the fools of the AT). He is starting a few days after us and I hope we can hike a few days with him.
If you haven't had a chance to go to Standing Boy, make a point to get out there this spring before the briars grow. Big Dog Running Store has trail maps available.
