Welcome to BLT Adventure

This is where we will aggregate our thoughts and pictures over the next months while we attempt to walk all 2174 miles of the Appalachian Trail (big map) from Georgia to Maine. Our journey starts on April 30th so it's finally starting to seem real.

A quick tour of this site:

1. There are several ways that I'll be adding content to this journal, which are explained in this post.
2. In the right column you'll find the main navigation for ways to contact us, our (not-yet-completed) itinerary, a bit of our connection with and motivation for hiking the trail, some commonly asked questions, and a bit about the lightweight gear we carry.
3. Below the Main Navigation, you'll see a hopefully-fairly-current stat of where we are and how much of the trail we've completed.
4. Below that, the photos in the right column will be randomly displayed from our Appalachian Trail 2007 photo gallery over at flickr. (Not much there yet... but we haven't started yet, either!)
   
5. And towards the bottom of the right column, you'll find some additional links and ways of searching archived content, which is indexed by category or by posting date and title.

Well, that's it for now. Thank you for your interest and support!
