The Home of The Disco Rock and Roll: 2012

Thru Hike Complete (April 6 - September 28)

With awesome crew and a beautiful day for summit bummin'.

So I walked from Amicalola Falls, GA to Wingdale, NY. Then I took some time off to be at home, then I got sick so even more time off, I can't wait to catch these people. Also more photos in my picasa. Soon I will be on my way to Maine!
