My eldest two children will be joining my mother-in-law in North Carolina for an extended vacation this summer. They're really looking forward to hiking as part of that trip. My mother-in-law lives about 1-1/2 mile from the Appalachian Trail and has hiked quite a bit of it. It's taken her a lot longer than this, and she's not finished the whole thing yet, but if you think it'd be interesting to hike the whole thing, but are too much of a couch potato or just haven't made the time yet and want to see what you're missing, Kevin Gallagher has something to show you. :-)
Wired Magazine has an interesting article about his adventures, but in a nutshell, he hiked the whole trail and took 24 shots a day over his six-month-long trek and stitched them into a really cool video. As cool and beautiful as this video is, it really doesn't do the Trail justice. It's just something to whet your appetite until you can experience it for yourself. Enjoy.
