A walk north

It's been a good while since I have posted on this blog, (probably a little after I got back from Montana with my grandparents) But I considering picking it back up once again for my next journey.

I won't be really leaving for this nomadic feat until late February/early march of 2016 but I have been preparing mentally/physically since I got back from my first trip in 2013.

The Appalachian trail spans nearly 2,200 miles running from Georgia to Maine going through 14 states

So If you'd like to follow i will be starting on the top of Springer mountain in Georgia  and walking north towards Katahdin in Maine, NOBO!! (northbound)
I will be posting a fair amount before my departure showing my gear preparation (shakedown hikes) and physical training  (marathon training)

Hope you enjoy the journey with me!
