Beginning of a Lifetime

Around June of 2009, I went on a hike with my Boy Scout Troop. Nothing new. Out for a weekend hiking one of America's most famous trail. Of course at my age, I have never heard of the Appalachian Trail. The weekend went great for not understanding why every so often a smelly person would walk by us with the largest beards I have ever seen! A couple years later, I look at the Appalachian Trail a little differently. A few weeks ago, I made a lifetime decision. I decided I will be hiking Maine to Georgia in 2016. I have thought long and hard about it, sometimes even losing sleep. This is something that is on my bucket list, and I am going to make it happen. Nate Harner
