Spring Mountain Ga. (Summit). This was about the time Caleb remembered that he forgot his coat.

Sunrise on Big Cider Mountain. Caleb and Chris enjoying our first sunrise. Luke was enjoying his sleeping bag.






Blood Mountain Shelter, built in 1939

View from Blood Mountain, the highest peak on the Ga. part of the trail. Caleb's favorite hike thus far.
These are our friends "Seattle" and "Alaska" they were on spring break from UAB. Despite their fifty pound packs there were in good spirits.

"The-Can-Do-Man" this guy has hiked the trail twice once with two hip replacements, and now with a broken something ankle. He was filled with many fun filled stories, like his pet squirrel.


Neel's Gap, trail ran right through this store.













This environment is amazing.

  3. This is Luke.

    Thanks for the comments, loving family. Stephen, my email is llanier05@ehc.edu and I think Max Patch will actually be in about 8-9 days (March 26th-27th). It is definitely my favorite part of the A.T. that I have seen (but I've only seen a small portion). I will give you a call in Gatlinburg, TN (a few days before Max Patch) and see if you can hike it with us. We could end the hike in Hot Springs, maybe.
