Appalachian Trail Adventure

Mara McMurray was our speaker today and she spoke about hiking the Appalachian Trail. She started the trip on February 29th. She began in Georgia. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail is a 2,180-mile footpath along ridgecrests and across the major valleys of the Appalachian Mountains from Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in northern Georgia. The trail traverses Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia. Total length of the trip was 146 days. She currently works for Walloon Lake Conservancy and is considering other major trail systems such as the Pacific Crest Trail or the Continental Divide.
