Appalachian Trail - Georgia to North Carolina

Jump-up in the Fog

In September, I continued my section hike of the Appalachian Trail by picking up at the beginning -- the Southernmost point of the AT, at Springer Mountain, GA. The trail took me through the hills of Georgia's Chattahoochee National Forest and the Blue Ridge Mountains, and continued up through Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina. After covering 137 miles in 9 days, I ended up in Wesser, NC, home to the amazing Nantahala Outdoor Center, where I afforded myself the luxury of a warm, dry bed after a day of hiking in the rain.

When a whole nation is roaring Patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart.
