Thru Hike of the Appalachian Trail 2006. Georgia to Maine! Old Goat Summer 2006. This video was made by Old Goat to be used in a presentation he made about Thru Hiking the AT. It’s a great summary of whats involved in an AT Thru hike. You can read about his hike at his trail journal located at: trailjournals.com Enjoy!! __________________________________ Update (Mar 2009) Old Goat hiked most of the AT again. Check 6 (his wife) started in GA Mar 2009, planning to hike to Maine together. Due to injuries, the thru hiked turned into a section hike (large followed by others). 1500+ miles were hiked in 2009, a few more in 2010(more injuries), and hopeful completion this summer 2011. To follow their journey, check their trailjournal at: www.trailjournals.com and subscribe to their videos at: www.youtube.com
