27 Days

The Appalachian Trail is about 2,180 miles long and covers 14 states from Georgia to Maine. It takes anywhere from 3 to 6 months to hike. Not only are there thousands of bears between Springer Mountain and Katahdin, the end points of the trail, but there are also diarrhea-inducing poisonous waters, Lyme's disease ridden tics, snakes, hundreds of mountains, and acres of poison ivy. In 27 days, Tyler and I will be heading north.

We are incredibly excited to start the trail after months of preparation and planning. We decided to start this blog to share our journey with our friends and families. There is not much here at the moment, but you can expect a few more posts until we start on March 14th. After that we will be updating from the trail as often as we can, as we are expecting to get off the trail to resupply every 3-5 days. 

If you want to know more about the trail go here.

To see what we'll be strapping to our backs for 2,000+ miles go here and here.

To comprehend what would induce us to spend months without TV or internet (sorry reddit and hulu) go here.
