Cas's Appalachian Trail Blog

The main purpose of this blog is to keep friends and family up to date on my progress while on the Appalachian Trail. Thanks to everyone for all the support! Special thanks goes out to my wife Melanie for her support, encouragement and understanding. A big thanks goes out to my entire family for their support. Huge thanks to Josh Seehorn for sharing all of his knowledge and wisdom (spending hours on the phone with me answering all my crazy questions) that helped me prepare for this journey.

Memorial Day Hike

Here are some photos from my hike last weekend with my friend Josh Seehorn. We went from Woody Gap to Unicoi Gap a total of around 34 miles in 2 days.

Josh is an amazing individual. He has thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail and completed the American Discovery Trail (ADT) that goes from coast to coast! Check out his website: www.outdoorjosh.com. (Before you ask, that's how I came up with my blog URL)
