Appalachian Trail Adventures

This historic "AT" hiking trail provided many grand memories and some graceful and not so graceful experiences of this wonderful wilderness!

​

Travel with me on the three part of our Appalachian Adventures as we go backpacking and hiking up the east coast on the Appalachian Trail!  My husband and I visited 10  of the 14 states so far to enjoy the natural variety that the AT has to offer!

Day One was filled with trepidation. I was nervous if I was actually able to do the backpacking for three days.  My husband was in better shape and I was humbled but ready for the adventure!

The act of silent hiking was zen like.  The rhythm of the motion while being immersed in nature brought a sense of calm and a deeper connection to what really mattered.

 My confidence had been built and I was now planning in my mind how to do Chapter 2 and visiting other states along the way!  Backpacker was now part of my identity, even at this "seasoned' age!
