Woody Gap

Tomorrow, Matt will hike my favorite mountain along the AT. Ok, so it's one of the few mountains that I've actually hiked on the Trail... Blood Mountain! It's beautiful. The highest peak of the A.T. in Georgia. Matt's Facebook profile picture is of Matt and I at Blood Mountain shelter in February 2012.

Tonight, he's at Woody Gap, 20 miles into his journey. I've received a few texts from him, his service is spotty at best. I'm sure he's thrilled about the trek and wishes everyone love!

Click "Shelters" to get a better idea of where his stops are! Don't forget to navigate the rest of the site!

Also, if you are interested in another account of walking the AT to get a sense of what he's experiencing (or if you want to live vicariously!) check out David Miller's "AWOL on the Appalachian Trail". He's a fellow Floridian and actually gave me some advice this morning about the best airlines to use in order to visit Matt from Orlando! Great read.

On another note... Walk, Matt, Walk! :)
