2012 AT Thru-Hike. A Journey from Georgia to Maine

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

Washington Monument State Park

This was the original dedication to George Washington, well before the one in DC was built. I am about 20 miles into Maryland at this point.

Taken from the top of the Washington Monument. The open fields in the distance are the sight of the famous Antietam civil war battle. To the left is West Virginia, and to the right is Pennsylvania ( not pictured ).

Tony -- so did you make it out of Free State on Tuesday, or did you just decide to hold up there for a few days and enjoy the A/C, leftover pizza, ice-cream, sodas, etc?

Took a car, bus, train, and cab but made it to Phily and did a nice little trail run the following day.
