On Friday May 11, Sue Turner arrived in Chattanooga on her historic first-ever trek of the Great Eastern Trail. I accompanied her on the walk from Summerville, Georgia on our way into Chattanooga.

Here are a sample of some of the photos that we took during the 3 days that we hiked together. Enjoy!
