Josh's Journey

This is an evening scene Josh and his father watched on the AT.	Josh enjoys his view after hiking 5,000 feet to the top of Blood Mountain on March 7th.	WOW! A sight worth hiking virtually straight up and straight down rocky terrain to enjoy!	Josh eats peanut butter for protein, energy, and in honor of March being National Peanut Butter Month. He also cools his happy feet while enjoying his food.
After approximately 2 hours of hiking, Josh stops to cool his feet. This is especially important at the beginning of the trail in order to condition them for the long journey.	Starting point of the AT... Ready, Set, GO!!!	Josh at the southern most terminus of the AT: Springer Mountain, Georgia before his hike.	Pictured clockwise at Springer Mt. before Josh started on his journey March 5th: Josh's mother Polly, his father Norm, his younger sister Audrey, his older sister Kristy Waldeck, Josh with his dog Nelson, Josh's brother-in-law Kent Waldeck with his dog Griffin.
