for the last three years myself ,and the three other esteemed gentlemen you see below, have been making our attempt to through hike the a.t. one 30 or 40 mile stretch at a time. the first year was a rookie run. last year we just plain froze our tails off. and, this year we really hit it just right. we may just have to come up with trail names if we keep this up. can’t wait to see what happens next year.
