An evening of experienced teaching and an encouraging talk about Thru-Hiking The Appalachian Trail from “Pretzel” at Mountain Crossings!
The place was packed with hopeful hikers wanting to squeeze-out the last bit of helpful information before embarking on their epic journey of a lifetime and creating memories that will last beyond their years.
“Pretzel” (a quadruple long distance hiker) was filled with energy, expression and excitement as he spoke for an hour on how to best plan, prepare and produce the hike that one envisions.
Stopping for a quick “selfie” (“Pretzel” is the cool looking dude in the middle) his evening of motivation was our official launch and kick-off to this year’s attempt to thru-hike The Appalachian Trail! The first step literally begins in two weeks from today, baby!
Slipper and I are like two children awaiting Christmas Day. Afterall… age is just a number… and hiking… well… “it’s just walking” (a quote from “Pretzel”).
