On April 3rd 2017 I set out to hike the entire Appalachian trail. It took me 5 1/2 months to do so. It was one of the most hardest things I have ever accomplished.
This is a view of what I saw as I climbed Mt. Katahdin in Maine on September 15th 2017 after taking 5 1/2 months to hike there. I will post other blogs later of the rest of the hike but thought it would be cool to start with this.
I arrived on the 14th at the base of Mt. Katahdin and camped out there that night. On the morning of the 15th I woke up at 3:00 am and packed my gear. By 3:30 am I was ready to go and headed to the rangers office. 3:45 am I checked in my gear I wasn't going to take up the mountain and set off to the trail upwards. It was total darkness for a couple of hours and kind of spooky trying to climb the rocks in it. I did have my headlamp and luckily it lasted long enough till sunrise.
I managed to make it to the section called the "Table Tops" just as the sun was rising over them. I am told that very few people ever get to see that first hand.
I left so early so I could be one of those few. I took so many pictures that my camera was almost dead before reaching the top. I was nervous that I wasn't going to have enough battery power. But thankfully my camera held out.
Here is me at the top:
Here are the are the rest of the pictures I took as I climbed:
If you enjoyed this blog then look forward to seeing the rest of my hike on future blogs.
