About to hit 1,000 miles on my thru-hike of the A.T.
So a few months back I announced that i was going to be thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. It’s one of the 3 biggest footpaths in the world in the Eastern US and stretches through 14 states from Georgia to Maine.
I’m on day 76 and I find myself in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia around 920 miles in. By statistics, on 1/4 of the people who started are left on trail.
I’ve only seen about 2 s2000’s the entire trip and it really reflects on how rare this car really is. I really wish you guys could see some of these mountain roads with me, so many nice turns. Really makes me miss driving.
I’m not sure what I’ll be doing with the car after this journey. Doing a thruhike really puts into perspective what u really need in life. All I have is my pack and funds for food and the mountains give me everything else.
Long distance hiking, I still have to finish this one, but I’m already looking forward to the next 2 big trails in our country.
As I move up North I’m seeing more souped up cars. The South loves their muscles cars, especially mustangs.

Save a bit of energy for Maine. The hundred mile wilderness and that last climb at the end (Katahdin) are both a bit of a challenge for sure. You will pass not far from my house when you cross from Vermont into New Hampshire.

I am jealous. Life should be about adventure.
