Julie and I are hiking the Appalachian Trail in the US from Springer Mt, Georgia, to Mt Katahdin, Maine, in the north, a distance of almost 2,200 miles (3,540 km). Our journey will start in early May 2023 and is expected to take about five months. We will be mostly camping, carrying 3-5 days of supplies to get us between resupply points, where we will be staying in hostels/hotels/motels where we can. I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail back in 1986 so it will be interesting to see how much has changed and how much it has stayed the same.

Journal:

We slept late, but not too late to make full use of the motel's complementary buffet continental breakfast.

Dave then had a very lazy day catching up on correspondence and admin with movies on the TV in the background.

As usual, Julie was like a caged lioness when confined to a motel room and ventured out for walks/jogs in both the morning and afternoon on local trails.

Dave did the laundry in the afternoon and we had an early dinner at a nearby diner, anticipating an early start tomorrow.
