The day has arrived!
Our first day on the trail - March 5, 2007. Ten years have passed since our trek up the Approach Trail to the southern terminus at Springer Mountain. For me it was seeing thirty years of dreaming coming to pass. We had a long way to go on our journey - but it was the day of days, and one I will never forget.
To read more about the amazing journey I took with my 16 yr old son, check out our book Mountains, Madness, and Miracles - 4000 Miles Along the Appalachian Trail
