Appalachian Trail 1994 -- the good year

In 1994, Alex and I hiked about 750 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Along the way, we met many people and saw some truly awesome views. The weather was great almost every day, and hikers that year all agreed that it was truly a good year to be hiking. Please read the journal that I kept during my hike (complete with pictures). You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this file.

Here are some pictures that I took along the way:
