AT Reading List

I received some books in the mail today! I can't wait to get to reading. I've heard such great things about AWOL and about Appalachian Trials. And the AT Guide is more so we can get used to the format and use it on any shakedown hikes.

Mantra

It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop.

Confucius

This will be my mantra as I take my first steps on the Appalachian Trail come next February.

If I move with deliberation and purpose, I will surely reach my goal: Katahdin. Baxter Peak. The Northern Terminus of the Appalachian Trail. And I will surely be a more open and fulfilled person for having made the journey north from Springer Mountain, Georgia.

Accompanying my boyfriend and myself on our 2,184 mile journey will be our faithful companion, Sheila, the 4-year-old Australian Shepherd.
