HELLO Hello Hello and welcome to our Blog!  As you can imagine, we are VERY excited about our upcoming adventure and can not thank you all enough for supporting these two organizations which are very near and dear to both Vicki and I.  The brave Men and Women they support deserve nothing but the best treatment available so we are honored to be doing this hike for them. 
  
Our goal for this blog is to keep you all up to date with where we are and how we are progressing - we promise to keep our updates short and sweet and not bore you all to death with details of every leaf and tree we come across! We expect to be able to update once every few days or so when we hit the trail towns to restock and shower! 
  
At the moment we are busy getting prepared - sorting out equipment and increasing our fitness and planning our schedule. The donation link to Help for Heroes is up and running. Hopefully Wounded Warriors will be up within a few days too! That is all for now. Feedback on the blog is welcomed as we are new to this!

    I'm so jealous. My Brother lives only a few miles from the trail in PA. Let me know if they can provide you support in any way. Are you hiking north to south or south to north?

    Take lots of pics.

      Hi Mike. thanks. We may take you up on that offer. We are going south to north. Come join us for a few days if you can, or a weekend. A few folks have mentioned that idea to us already.

      Planning is going great! Boots are being broken in and we are trying out the tent tonight...in our barn next to the woodstove...slow and steady. Trip planning is going very well also. Im on day 52, and so far no issues with the dogs. We arrive in Atlanta on 15 March. You guys are invited to Beth and Gavins for the St Paddys party on the 17th if you would like. Love to see you!
