On Sunday April 1, Sue Turner (aka Hammock Hanger) began her planned thru-hike of the Great Eastern Trail. This is the first attempted thru-hike of this newly announced trail system that stretches from Florida to New York State.
This morning I received a photograph of Sue as she signed in at the kiosk at the Florida - Alabama border. This image was taken by Johnny Miller of the Alabama Hiking Trail Society.
If you'd like to follow along on Sue's journey, you can do so by visiting her online trail journal. Please take a moment and sign her guestbook with some words of encouragement.
I'll provide updates on Sue's progress in the coming weeks and months, including trip reports from the times when we plan to hike together.
