Ready to go on a long walk.
I dropped Seth and Rylee off on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at the approach trail to the AT which is at Amicalola Falls state park in North Georgia. We stopped at the visitor center where Seth registered in the AT hikers log. It was rainy and foggy and after waiting about 15 min for the rain to slack off, Seth readied himself for the long walk. He checked out his pack, put on his rain coat and got Rylee ready to go. She is carrying her own pack with her food and started out with about six pounds.
In the parking lot, Seth and I met Jim and his wife, who had made the trip down from Waynesboro, Va the day before. Jim is planning to tru hike and has been planning his trip for two years. Jim has a blog and his wife is posting for him during his trip. I learned from the blog that Seth and Jim walked together for the first few hours. Seth then set off at a little faster pace and made it past Springer Mt which is 8 miles in from the approach trail.
