I've been fascinated by the AT since reading Grandma Gatewood's Walk by Ben Montgomery. Hope I get a chance to hike at least a portion of it. Loved this great article.
I just read this article loud in the car as we are heading to hike the 8 Km Path of the Gods with our teenage kids. Had to stop a couple of times not to cry… Hope that the Appalachian Trail is ahead of them too.
What an inspirational story, Elias, and beautifully told. Your bravery and resolve are character traits that will take you far in life. I can’t wait to hear about what you do next.

After reading this article and learning of your big accomplishment in completing this trek, no way can I imagine you not being very successful in life! Great story.
This is fantastic. Thank you.
Beautiful piece. As someone who has spent many days and miles on the trail dreaming of a thru-hike, this struck a deep chord. Thank you!

Bravo!
I needed to read something grounding and sane today. This was a gift. Thank you.
Beautiful piece! Even the interns here are pen-killers
I think you can, too. Go for it!
