Welcome

On March 4th 2006, I will begin a northbound thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. This blog will serve as an intermediary between myself and the world at large while I'm on the trail. I'm not sure how frequently I'll be able to update given the obvious technological limitations entailed in carrying my entire life on my back through 2200 miles of wilderness, but hopefully I'll be able to sketch out something of a comprehensive picture of my daily comings and goings on the trail.
