In June and July of 2004 I hiked the Appalachian Trail from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Sams Gap in Tennessee. My intention was to eventually make a web site, when I got around to it, but never really seemed to get around to it. Now it is 2009 and I am finally getting the 2004 section up.
This was my first experience with this type of hike and I made all the rookie mistakes—too much equipment, over confidence in one’s own abilities, and underestimation of the difficulty of the Appalachian Trail. It is not an easy hike. I know this first hand.
My first section hike was 30 days and I covered 315.3 miles. The AT 2004 page provides many details about this experience and a link to my flickr album.
