We received an email from David O. of Vancleave, MS who was hiking on the AT with 2 friends-Dave and Rob. They were hiking the section from Neels Gap to Deep Gap in NC. Apparently they shared some tuna and tortillas with Tom and Ben. (They boys had run out of fuel and were eating dry ramen and cold oatmeal. Yum.) Dave reported that the weather was cold, misty, and wet! We also heard that the boys were getting along just like brothers do most of the time! Sounds just like my guys! Thanks Dave O. for updating us back home.

One home-schooled young man from Delaware thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail (AT) in 2011. A journey through 14 states, testing his mind, body and spirit as he experiences the beauty and wonder of the trail and the people along the way.

- Welcome to our blog. Come and visit and get to know my crazy busy family. First there is me, Tammy, also known as the MOM. And then there is Hank-the Dad. We are the proud parents of 5 wonderful and wacky kids. In order of birth-Nicholas, Thomas, Benjamin, Eleanor, and Maxwell. We are a homeschooling family and we love to explore, travel, and create dynamic family traditions and rituals with our children.
Thru-hiked the trail in 2008 with my spouse. It's gotta be very similar to hiking it with a sibling. Very soon you realize that "they" (ie spouse or sibling)are all you have out there! Better treat them well or you're in deep do-do.
