New and exciting news.... Since we are not asking for any sponsoring from the charity (food/travel) they will apply 20 percent of the funds we raise to the Appalachian Trail Conference.

I plan on doing an overnight in Harriman State Park April 9th as part of my training for this hike. Thinking Bear Mt to William Brien Shelter. Anyone who wants to come and hike with me are more than welcomed.

Did my overnight hike. Everything seems to be dialed in just fine. My strength and conditioning training is working out quite well. Based on the soreness today I need to do more stairmaster equipment and calf raises to adjust to the work load.
When pushing myself I'm covering 9 miles in about 4 hours in moderate to difficult terrain. I feel I'm ready for this adventure as it will be the longest trek of my backpacking adventures and will pave the way for a longer adventure I'm sure.
I am still below my mark and could really use the help of the hiking community to at least break $1,000 for this charitable organization. Remember 20% also goes to the AT Conservancy to assist in the maintenance of the trail.
If you feel my quest is worthy of your donation please see my signature below to the event.
My best,

Well Gear Slug bailed on the hike had unforseen obligations that just took precedence.... I'm still in and going to go solo as long as my fiance's dad and aunt stay fairly healthy (now diagnosed terminally ill).
Now I have to get a SPOT... or else my Fiance is gonna freak.
