UPDATE
Trail name: WildWilly
NOBO
Started March 12 and got as far as Waynesboro, PA on July 8 before a persistent foot problem caused me to seek medical attention. Doctor advised surgery with three weeks of rest and no hiking. Decided to head home and take care of it. Plan to resume next spring or summer and complete my AT hike. The experience was truly a life-changing one for me, and I can hardly wait to get back on the trail next year!
