But wait, there's more!
This page is for my family, friends, and anyone else who cares about the boring details surrounding my summer adventure. I've embedded a couple GoogleDocs detailing my whereabouts and mail drop schedule as well as some links to various sites should you find yourself dying to learn more about the Appalachian Trail. I will also do my best to update the map below as frequently as I can throughout the summer, so you can follow me along the trail!
Where am I?
Today I am in Glasgow, Virginia. For me, Glasgow perfectly balances the simplicity of small town Virginia life while simultaneously providing everything a hiker needs. Within a few blocks, it has a free hiker shelter (with electricity and a hot shower!), a pizza place, a grocery store, a library, a post office, a laundromat, and a Dollar General! I love this town! Next town stop - Daleville/Troutville!

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.
