Over here on the east coast, we have the Appalachian Trail that runs from Maine to GA. I have had day hikes on it but cannot imagine major treks like this. My cousin met her once husband on the trail though. They almost completed it until he got to sick to continue. Mary Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17613361631330955684noreply@blogger.com
