Update

I have completed my thru-hike my day one hike out of Amicalola falls was on March 29th, 2022 and my summit day of Katahdin was on September 30th, 2022. I was unable to keep up with this as the trail had challenged me everyday and when I started I was very unprepared. The Appalachian trail was not only physically challenging but mentally challenging. I loved every minute of the trail although I wished I had kept up with journaling and posting for my own documentation. Sometimes at the end of a day the mental exhaustion was too much and it really was all the energy I would have left to set up my tent and go to bed. I will be updating this page the next couple days with photos, highlights, and stories with memories of the trail, as well as gear updates because all of my gear was switched out as I found better and lighter options as I hiked. It is bittersweet now that the trail is over and while I wait for more information on PCT 2023 this is how I will keep memories fresh in my mind from the trail.
