Jul 7, 2022 : Pat & Paula Appalachian Trail

Hop, Skip and Jump

We are currently in a hotel in Duncannon PA. This is about the only time that we can really update the blog site. while it can be done from a phone, Santa’s big fingers do not lend themselves well to a tiny keyboard and mouse. Unfortunately, mid post we lost internet and therefore our post.  Since its been a while and our fives of subscribers may be worried, here are some pictures until we can get back to the computer to tell ‘The Rest of the Story”

Pat & Paula's Bio

Hi, Y'all! Our names are Pat and Paula, and we plan to hike the Appalachian Trail. We live in a small town in Florida. Not exactly fertile training ground for what has been described by some as a long, cold, rainy, mountainous six-month walk in the woods. That’s okay though because what we lack in experience, we make up for in enthusiasm and tenacity. Like the movie A Walk in the Woods, we are novices at this hiking/camping thing. Our hike may turn out to be more of a Road Runner/Wiley B Coyote cartoon than any hiking how-to or inspirational blog. Regardless, we look forward to sharing the many highs and lows of this adventure with you. Thank you for reading our blog. Until then, happy trails.

    Hi. I’ve been offline and catching up now (7/15 a.m.) Your pics are wonderful; looks like you’re having so much fun you might have entered Forrest Gump mode, meaning when you get to Maine, you might just keep walking! It’s a big, beautiful country so who would blame you? Hey, lovin’ the pic of the boys showing off their boo-boo knees. Boys will be …
    Stay safe, capture every moment and live life large. xox

    Howdy hikers. You all are amazing – and even more so than your hiking shoes! Are you planning to bring home all those rubber soles? We can make a collage out of them!
    Yeah, Oz, aka Manhattan, is a pretty cool skyline to behold, right? So glad you had a clear day. Rock-climb on! Be safe. See you soon.
