The Appalachian Trail (AT) is a 2,190+ mile hiking-only footpath that runs along the Appalachian Mountains from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. Completed in 1937, it is one of the world's longest footpaths and passes through 14 states: Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Its southern terminus is Springer Mountain, GA, and its northern terminus is Mount Katahdin, ME. A 101-mile section of the AT runs through Shenandoah National Park in Central Virginia, following the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I drive past this neighborhood frequently, Today, I noticed that the street name plays into the neighborhood name. Turned the car around to confirm and checked the other street names. After seeing the location and checking the app, I knew this would be a great location for an AT-themed cache and travel bug hotel.
I have been scetion hiking the AT for many years and have covered over 900+ miles. It's always fun to find a cache on the actual AT but I don't like leaving TBs as they may get lonely. This cache is a great way to combine my love of the AT, hiking & Geocaching!
Happy Trails,
