I was a volunteer fire fighter and land scape bussiness owner. I had an Aunt who was dieing of cancer, and walked to raise funds for cancer on the Appalachian Trail. I finished in 2004 with Alabama, cook, and a few others. I started in 2005 and made it from GA to Damascus, VA. Headed to South Carolina, to florida, then to St. Louis, MO for the lewis and Clark Trail. Traveled to New Zealand to raise awareness there for three weeks. Went back East to relax, recover, then decided to Move to Califorina to pursue college to become a nurse for cancer kids one day. I went to school and worked in San Diego, CA. Went to Lima, Peru to bring toys for cancer kids. Returned to California to continue my prerequsits for LVN program, but after I applied, the program was cancelled. I found a private school, and started the Medical Assisting program to gain more medical knowledge. I graduate in December of 2011. I will begin the LVN course in 2012 at the same school, Concorde Career College in San Bernardino, CA. I begin volunteering at Loma Linda Children's Hospital as a Child Life volunteer with cancer kids. This is to get me more experiance with being a nurse for cancer kids. I am still working on a book that i have been writing, Called, "A Promis for Marie," and I hike and camp as much as I can, but have a lot of homework. I just did a presintation of my walk for cancer for extra credit in class on Friday 8-7-11. brought in all my Thru-hike gear. Hope to get in contact with Seiko, met him in 2004 on my thru-hike, hope he is still alive. Just wanted to thank him and everyone that prepared me for the hike, and along the way, all the trail angels as well. |

I started in GA on Feb 24 but, because of snowy trail conditions and forecasts of continuing snowfall, left the trail after completing only three sections. I re-started at Waynesboro/Rockfish Gap, VA on Mar 26, reached Katahdin on Aug 6 then returned to Rockfish Gap on Aug 10 and completed my flip-flop at Springer on Oct 17.
After the difficulties encountered in GA in February, the rest of the hike was pretty straightforward and, based on my experience, I'd recommend flip-flopping to anyone planning on hiking the whole trail: weather conditions were generally favourable, insects were tolerable and there were rarely many people at campsites or in shelters. The first 20 days, to Harper's Ferry, were a little quiet, as was much of the southern leg apart from the Grayson Highlands (crossed over Labor Day weekend) and the Smokies. If being alone is not your preference, it might be well to find a hiking partner, at least for the quieter sections. |
