The Start of my Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike 🌳

Okay,

A lot to unpack here.

Firstly, I'm posting this very very late, this was May 2nd, 2022.

So everything after this will be in chronological order from that date.

I prepared for this hike in under 2 months, I took a bus (which sucked, lol), I camped behind a gas station the first night, drove me to trail the first day, and I didn't go through the "arch thing" the fist day.

I didn't know where it was so I started at the sign, lol.

Still making a backlog of all my photos and videos.

This one is Oct, 7 2021.

I did a leisurely 38mile gravel ride with my awesome bikepacking bags & My Wahoo Elemnt Roam near Bend, Oregon then had lunch at an Ethiopian restaurant.

Got to eat dinner with my friends in Burns later that day.

Pretty fun day. 🚵🏻‍♂️
