"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and display stamina in purpose." - President Eisenhower, First Inaugural Address

Friday Film: "Flying Lifeboat" Coast Guard SAR Helicopter
Yes, started at Harpers Ferry, WV, and hiked to Boiling Springs, PA. Strained an Achilles tendon, so came off the AT to recover. Will do some long section hikes until I finish the whole thing, starting after my leg heals.
Outstanding- good for you. I've done about 400 miles from Springer Mountain to Shenandoah Valley, doing sections. Backpacking the AT is an extraordinary adventure that provides lifelong memories- nothing like it. Good luck on your future backpacking.
Mark, did your recent vacation include hiking part of the AT? I heard you mention GA as a starting point and wondered. v/r
