Heather and I (and our dog Sasha) have decided to hike the Appalachian Trail this year. That's right 10 - 15 miles of hiking every day for the next 5 to 6 months. Are we prepared?...No. Do we know what we are doing?...Not really. Are we going to do it anyway...yes
Like many others, we have Bill Bryson to blame for this little detour in our lives. We read his book A Walk in the Woods a couple of years ago and have not stopped thinking about it since. We just have to give it a shot...this may be the only way to get it out of our minds. Make sure to send us a quick email by using the form to the right. We WILL get these emails while on the trail. We will be checking our email once or twice a week using a cool gadget called a pocketmail device.
If you are interested in seeing how we are doing while on our hike, you can go to our Trail Journal webpage at www.trailjournals.com/vaughans. You can also get to this page by clicking the Journal tab at the top of this website. The Trail Journals website has our online journal, pictures of our trip, and guestbook, so check it out.
Also, we are hiking the trail as a fund raiser for ArtSeed.org! ArtSeed is a non-profit organization that works to build long-term mentorships between artists and under-privileged youth through innovative arts projects. Check out ArtSeed's web site and consider making a pledge to support ArtSeed through our hike. Even a penny a mile would be great!
Arwen and Heather Vaughan
