Map of Appalachian Trail (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
My son Thru-Hiked on the Appalachian Trail from Atlanta to Maine between March and September this year. Below is a link to his last blog which he called “At the end and reflection” ( I even get a mention :-))
Please click on the following LINK: At the end of the Appalachian Trail Hike Joel reflects about his experience on the Trail. He had a great time. The photo below was taken at some point during the Trail.
I have submitted another photo where I tried to capture some of the forest in the South West while traveling at speed (within the limits of course :-))
Cheers
Lorraine
My attempt at taking a photo on the move!

An awesome accomplishment for your son. My dad completed the trail a few years back, and I would say not everyone can do something like that.
Thanks for your thoughts on this. I am really proud of what he achieved 🙂

He had a great experience and is keen to get back to the US to do some more hiking! Thanks for your thoughts 🙂
First off, congrats after spending a summer in those mountains its always been a goal of mine to do the entire trail!
