Appalachian Trail Experience 2006: Just Gene

My AT adventure began on 4/4/06 at Springer Mtn was completed on 8/6/06 at Mt Katahdin. I averaged 18mi/day with an average pack weight of 40lbs. I resupplied every 2 weeks via mail drops and spent lots more money on food along the trail. I took a total of 8 days off spending 6 of them with my wife. I'm looking forward to doing it again...a bit more slowly the next time...:)

Gene... I'm really enjoying your trip... Great pics and stories...

Are you still on schedule, 250 miles every two weeks? it's seems like your moving pretty fast.

So what kind of souveniers are you really bringing back for your wife? What kind of flowers have you been sending her weekly?
