Backpacking the Appalachian Trail

First backcountry backpacking/camping trip. Hiked 7 miles in yesterday & camped overnight. Got pretty cold but having a great experience. Hiked today to the top of Blood Mountain. Met a great 15 year old boy who is wise beyond his years.much more to come about this trip once I get back to civilization. Stay tuned!

  1. Hiked 7 miles? Yahoo! You'll have to share what shoes you are using on this journey.... I need a good recommendation for hiking shoes. Glad to see that sparkle in your eye and that special smile that belongs only to you. Can't wait to hear about the youngster you met and lessons shared. Love you much, Elayne

  2. Thanks for reading and commenting Elayne. I, unfortunately, did not buy hiking shoes. I wore the tennis shoes I already had. I was instilling onne of my new favorite sayings, told to me by the friend I went backpacking with, and his grandmother used to say to him…"use it up, where it out, make it do or do without." However, my feet may not have been so sore after the hiking if I had hiking boots. lol
