Progress

On previous trips, I became familiar with the Spot Global Satellite Messenger which allows me to communicate my position and also allows me to notify rescue officials in the case of an emergency. Thanks to the magic of Google maps, friends, family, and you can track my progress on the trail on my custom map site.

In future posts, I will give more details on the gear and supplies I have with me.

Beginning

On June 18, 2016 I set off from Mt. Katahdin in Maine with the goal of thru hiking the Appalachian Trail and completing the hike before my 18th Birthday on November 22.

Here is my first camp site at Katahdin Stream Campground.
