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...:)

5/5/06 Friday: Damascus free day... no walking :)


I stayed at the Damascus Old Mill Inn a second day to relax and complete my blog entries. I had a chance to check out the town and visit with some trail friends who were also staying in the village. I thorrowly enjoyed my stay and left on Saturday totally refreshed and reinvigorated. It rained most of the day and I was quite happy to be in a comfortable environment for another day.
spent a few hours at the Public Library entering the text for the blog but their rules prevented uploading any pictures. So the search was on in town for a computer. I want to thank the staff at the Mexican Cafe with their one computer... and such a big demand... they were great... That evening there was a live band playing at the hotel... not well attended but I did enjoy the music of The Jones Boys very much before retiring for the evening...
