When I successfully thru-hike the Appalachian Trail, I will. . .
Now that we have a pile of gear waiting for us to take to the trail on our test hike in a few weeks, I am back to working on my Appalachian Trials lists. Next up? What will I gain from my thru-hike experience? It's time to dig into the treasure chest of this awesome challenge!
These are the things I will get out of my Appalachian Trail thru-hike:
- An incredible book of night photos
- Images for my outdoor product commercial portfolio
- Outdoor gear company contacts to shoot products
- A deeper bond with Jeff aka Muskrat
- Skills to succeed at this marriage thing
- A fantastic shared adventure
- A second book perhaps (hopefully the first one will be done by then!)
- New perspective
- Clarity
- Direction
- Finally see more of New England
- Time away from technology (for the most part)
- More confidence
- Another great story
- New skills
- New strengths
- Unknown gifts
- New friends
That's what I have for now! I'm sure that the list will develop and evolve over the next 8 months of planning and preparing!

This is random, I realize, but I want to talk to you and Muskrat about your transportation plans. My husband and I live between the Atlanta Airport and Springer and want to hike in a couple of years. We're looking to start our trail magic early. Contact me if you all might need a lift for your start date!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! We have several friends in the Atlanta area, but we will let you know for sure if we need a ride!
