okay so heres the story.. My sons Boy Scout Troop has been doing a lot of backpacking the last couple of months, I had forgotten how much more fun it is to backpack and not have to bring the entire kitchen sink with you when you camp..
When I was a kid our scout troop section hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail and I beleive we never got out of Georgia but we did do about 40-50 miles of it over a couple of years...
I always wanted to thru hike the entire thing (Ga to Maine) and It was something I always wanted to do and told myself I would do either right after college and before I got a real job, of course life always gets in the way so that never happened..
But im putting together a week long hike on the AT this summer for the older kids in our scout troop, trying to find some of the better sections in either Tennesse or North Carolina areas if any of you all are familiar with that section? Would love to go further north but its "not in the budget"
also found this video on line and found it post worthy![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
