So, this will be the place to receive all updates on our Appalachian Trail thru hike attempt. Most likely our lovely mother will be doing the majority of the typing. We found my laptop a bit of a nuisance to hike with. We will call in every few days and update our whereabouts and other essential facts. When we get access to the internet, via hostels or town libraries, we will try and upload our pictures/videos/thoughts/admirations. We know many of you think we are crazy, others wish they were here. I just want everyone to be in the know. Chris and I will have all of you in our minds throughout this grueling but rewarding endeavor. Keep it real, Jack.
