The Journey of twenty-two hundred miles begins with just a single step. Lao Tzu (paraphrased) This blog is mainly about my excursion upon the Appalachian Trail. This is a journey that has been 15 years in the planning stage and on March 20, 2022 it will see that plan being executed. Please feel free to leave comments and follow me on the social media of your choosing.

The Trail, Trailheads and my walking scheduled

OK, My walk on the Silver Comet Trail starts tomorrow and here is my schedule. I'll also be posting to my Facebook wall via cellphone to report my progress. Also, because I am walking by myself, this helps others to keep up with me. A few know that if I don't post to the Facebook wall at certain times to try and check up and see that I am ok. Hopefully this will be an uneventful but fun trip. Each one of the trailhead names is a link you can click on and see the satellite view of the trailheads, for those so incline.
