Heading North

I’ve never done anything like this.

Well now that that is out of the way, welcome to my Blog! The goal of what I have created here is to allow people to follow my progress as I attempt to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail.

Starting March 2nd I will be hiking North (or “NOBO”) from Springer Mountain in Georgia approximately 2,189.1 miles to Mount Katahdin in Maine. This will be the first time that I will be attempting a long distance hike, and the first time I will be sleeping outside for longer than a weekend. I’m essentially setting myself up for the biggest learning experience of a lifetime, and have setup this blog so that I can hold myself accountable for this big undertaking, while also chronicling my adventure from its high points to lows (both literally and metaphorically).

I hope you enjoy this blog of mine, if you’re still thinking “what the heck is she doing?” please feel free to read the Q&A section. If you’d like to be one of my trail supporters, please feel free to check out the “trail mail” and “wish list” sections!
