Graduate school kicks off in Fall 2009. Rather than field work or an internship I've decided to spend as much time as possible hiking the Appalachian Trail (AT). In January I began the trail on a short trip with the Penn State Outing Club. We completed the approach trail and first 30 miles of the AT, wrapping it up at a place called Neels Gap. I plan to pick up the trail where we left off because my time is way limited by grad school preparations, moving, weddings, summer work, etc. From Neels Gap I will hike North as far as possible along the 2,160 mile trail.
Here I hope to post quick updates on my progress and adventures and keep up with yours!
ALSO, should you want to hop on the trail as some folks have mentioned you'll know roughly where I am - because I have zero projections as to how quickly I'll be moving or how far north I may get. Let me know!
