Appalachian Trail

Every year thousands of people walk the Appalachian trail through Tennessee and Virginia. The whole trail is about 2175 miles long and extends from Georgia to Maine!

After walking for a couple of hours along the trail ridges, Charlie sprang back from the path to tell me a bear was up ahead. I took theis news in stride, not even knowing there were bears on the trail, but on learning they can easily outrrun you, and will chase you, the scene changed a little. It was a baby bear that had scrambled across the path, but we certainly didn't want to get between the little guy and its mother!
Here's me with complete proof of the Appalachian Trial - not a sign I brought with me.
