The A.T.

The A.T. ...  The Appalachian Trail. What a great way to see and experience unspoiled nature. I'm sure everyone has a favorite part of the trail... mine personally is the stretch that runs along Skyline Drive. This is where I've visited the trail the most and now that I'm older, its an easy drive to different parts of the trail by car. I'm not much on walking the trail now, my knees are not what they once were. But when I was younger that thought of walking a good portion of the trail was certainly in my mind... but never realized. Mostly short walks of 2-3 hours... not anything to really say ... "Yeah. I've walked the AT" ... but just enough to get a taste of the experience... a very little  taste. Nevertheless,  still an experience worth enjoying.  One of my favorite books on the trail is by Bill Bryson... Wonderful tale of his adventures on the trail. Hers some info that will perhaps peak your interest.
