Double-A has been doing great. He climbed Blood Mountain, and settled in to Neel Gap, where he picked up his first resupply package, and slept at the hostel there.

Double-A climbed out of Neel Gap on Friday Morning and stopped for camp after hiking for about 13 miles. Saturday was a hard day with 2 tough climbs and descents. About 1/2 way through his day at Unicoi Gap he got some unexpected trail magic.

A group from a local church setup a grill and did a hiker feed.

Double-A ended his day climbing Tray Mountain and setup camp near Tray Mountain Shelter, on a ledge with an amazing view.

Double-A has completed 58.2 miles of the AT so far. He should be out of Georgia and in North Carolina on Monday.

We said good bye to Aaron at Amicalola Falls AT Approach Trail and Double A took his first step of the approx. 5 million steps he’ll take toward Mount Katahdin.

Double-A’s first day was a climb up the Amicalola Falls (check them out they’re cool) it’s a climb of 604 steps with 35 lbs. on your back. He then kept on climbing to the top of Springer Mountain and officially started the Appalachian Trail.

He stayed at Hawk Mountain shelter on night 2, and to finish day 3 he stopped at Woody Gap, and will stay in a Hostel in Suches, GA tonight.

He has completed 20.6 miles of the AT, and along with the 8.8 mile approach trail has completed 29.4 miles in 3 days.
