I returned from the Appalachian Trail (my 6th section hike) this past Wednesday, July 15 around 11:00 PM and was back to work the next morning. This evening I created the page (AT 2009) that documents the hike, which was quite a momentous one.
This is the first Appalachian Trail page I have completed. I will be attempting to catch up and document the other 5 legs over the next few weeks.
As I have told many people, there were several milestones achieved during this section. Among those would be the 1000 mile mark, Harper’s Ferry, and the mid mark of the AT. I did very well and hope that section hike 7 will be even better. I can use some things I learned on this hike to hike for a goal, plan my hikes ahead so I hit key areas for washing clothes, showering, etc. without getting surprised, and to pack better food.
