walk the appalachian trail

Though I’ve hiked sections before, I’ve never kept track. I’ll kick it off with a day trip up McAfee’s Knob in Roanoke VA I took a few weeks ago. Gorgeous View.

I’ve always wanted to hike the AT. It’s one of those hereditary goals you get from your parents without realizing it. My dad the aging hippy hiked in the VA Mountains along the AT for his whole youth, and never made the commitment to a full trek. Unfortunately, I’m in the Military and am unable to take near enough time to do it all at once, so I’m starting in Maine and will be hiking each mile, sections by section, likely til I myself am an old and grey aging hippy.
