Appalachian Trail Thru-hike journals posted

I ran across the series of newspaper articles I wrote for the Greensboro News and Record during my Appalachian Trail thru-hike in 2000 while going through some old boxes of stuff at the house. I scanned and snagged the text with Adobe Acrobat, and they’re now posted under the Appalachian Trail Thru-hike Journals category.

Going back and reading these almost eight years later, I realize that that thru-hike is largely responsible for many, many changes in my life. I never would have gone to grad school, started a PhD, or paddled the Mississippi River if I didn’t take that six months of my life to walk from Maine to Georgia. Things change, relationships have come and gone, but one things remains the same – I’m not the same person that stood on top of Kathadin, some 2000 miles from home, wondering what I’ve gotten myself into.
