    First set foot on the approach trail when I was maybe 10 years old so...around 2003? First set foot on the actual trail? Spring/summer of 2016 with a friend who worked at the Hike Inn (GA).

    Grayson Highlands, Spring 1994, and I have been in love with the trail ever since.

    2000 mid March
    short section from Walasi-Yi (Neel Gap) to Unicoi Gap.
    I was intrigued with the thru-hiker concept as we were in the early bubble.

    1968 Easter break. AT in Great Smokey Mountains National Park from Fontana Dam to Cumberland gap. My Christmas present for a 9 year old girl that year was a down sleeping bag. Couldn’t have been any happier. �� dad hitched back to the car in Fontana village and fetched us back with the old Shasta travel trailer. My brother got strep throat and was sick as a dog. We visited in Gatlinberg and suffered culture shock. Still remember how pretty the trail was and how good the mountain spring water tasted.

    August 1969 during woodstock. Abol bridge Maine
    There are so many miles and so many mountains between here and there that it is hardly worth thinking about

    My first step on he AT was by the sign at the top of Katahdin.

    Here is a photo that my Dad took when he and my Mom dropped me off at Roaring Brook CG in Baxter State Park 35 years ago today — which makes tomorrow my AT-versary!

    Time flies and memories fade, but that day (especially coming down off the Table Land ) is clearly remembered. A good day, to be sure.

    I first hiked on the AT in July 1967 during a family vacation to Shenandoah National Park. I remember hiking up to Little Stony Man and seeing these bearded men hiking down the trail. When I asked my Dad who they were he said they were hiking this long trail and probably needed a good meal and a place to spend the night. The view was great and I still have some of the polaroids from that trip.
