The Beginning

Well it's finally that time. JT Howell and I will be setting off to hike the 2,180 mile foot trail known as the Appalachian Trail. The Appalachian Trail starts at Springer Mountain, Georgia and ends at Mount Katahdin somewhere in the middle of Maine. It also passes through 14 states and is some of the most beautiful landscape that the US has to offer. It will hopefully take us only 5 months but anyone who knows JT and me something will go wrong and take us probably closer to 6 months. We will be leaving Saturday the 18th of February and actually start hiking Sunday the 19th weather permitting.

The reason that JT and I have created these blogs is to keep our family, friends and anyone else updated on what we are doing on a day to day basis. We will update as often as we can. We are both bringing little notebooks to write in everyday so we can look back at all the memories that were made after we finish the trail. You can also keep up with us through our facebook pages.

P.S. I hate writing and grammar so forgive me ahead of time for the many mistakes I will make.
