Well, we did it. Hiked the Georgia section of the Appalachian Trail. 80 miles in 8.5 days, walked for 59 hours at a rate of approximately 1.4 mph. Mostly up and down mountains. I told my hubby on the trail, "You know, there's one thing wrong with the AT - it's mostly mountains." Ha ha. Of course we knew that before we took off, but we went anyway. And enjoyed it mostly.
In spite of the poison ivy that I caught while pottying in the woods. It's about cleared up now, took about three weeks to go away. In spite of the swollen feet and legs that I had for a couple of days after we returned home. In spite of it taking me at least a week to really rest up from the hike - I still enjoyed it.
If you want to read more about our AT adventures, be sure to check out my other blog. http://www.appalachiantrailsectionhiking.blogspot.com/. You can read all about our wild night out in the wilderness with the hogs, the nights in the shelters with the mice, and the wonderful people we met along the way.
We plan to continue into North Carolina on the AT in the Spring. I'll keep you posted.
