30 Days on the AT: Training for the Appalachian Trail on the Appalachian Trail

I have always dreamed of hiking the Appalachian Trail. I did not want to attempt the task only to end in failure. The majority of thru hikers start the Appalachian Trail at Springer Mountain in Georgia and head North. The majority of hikers that quit drop out after the first thirty miles at Neels Gap. My plan was to spend thirty days on the trail and hone my gear before attempting a thru hike. I would eventually hike from Bear Mountain , New York to Hanover, New Hampshire in less than thirty days. Join me as I endure hardships and learn about myself. Any proceeds from the sale of this novella will fund a future thru hike and hopefully a full length Novel.
