Hello,
So for those of you who do not know, I will be hiking the Appalachian trail this year (2011), starting 5/31/11. I will be posting on this site insights, remarks, comments, requests, and just general acknowledgements of my existence. I thought about facebook or a couple other blogging sites, but picked this one. The only downside of it is I know it's kind of complicated and confusing to post a comment for you all. But you can still call and leave me a voicemail or text or facebook message (775-813-7496). I'll get back to you when I can, and am setting this up so I can communicate with everyone in one motion.
I'll also be posting where people can ship things to me. An example (and the first place I'll be picking up) looks like this:
Cameron Reed Bynum
c/o General Delivery
Caratunk, ME 04925
Please Hold for Thru-Hiker
Estimated Date of Arrival: 6/13/11
I'll post other places as I get closer to them and know the date. If something gets there a couple days early, it's not a big deal. If it gets there a day late, I'll never get it. And anything sent has to be sent USPS (no FedEx or UPS).
But so I hope to post amazing insights and delightful stories as I hike the 2000+ miles of the AT as it weaves through 14 states and takes approximately 6 months. I start in Maine 5/31/11 and my goal is to get to my dad's house in Atlanta, GA by Thanksgiving. Pretty excited.
