We want to thank all of our family and friends for following us on our adventure. With over 2,100 miles of steep, rugged terrain to navigate, this hike will be both extremely challenging and rewarding. Every year there are between 1000 and 3000 men and women that attempt to complete the AT in a single season (aka. Thru-Hike) The average number of hikers that succeed is 10% or 100-300. This year we hope to become members of this so called "Thru-Hiker Fraternity" Enjoy!! Tony and Cory

DiamondBack Rattlesnake/ Connecticut
I walked upon this guy near Salisbury, Conn. He was in the middle of the trail and he did not rattle or hiss, so I almost stepped on him. I sat my pack down and took a water break hoping he would move out of the way. Well, that didn't happen...... he just kept coming closer and closer while searching the plants for bugs to eat. After about 20 minutes I gave up and hiked down a steep hill and back up the steep hill to bypass my new friend.
He was about 3 feet long and as big around as my forearm.
