Wow, what a lovely trip, @dswigle. I have never hike the AT, though I’ve walked parts of the Pacific Crest Trail. This is such a gorgeous time of year to spend time in the woods!

The phone in the woods is a new one. How amazing is that? I once read an article about a pay phone that was installed for people to speak to those they had lost. It was not actually connected. It was placed in Japan in an area where many people had lost loved ones in the big tsunami. Many people found it to be a source of comfort to envision calling their lost loved ones to speak with them one more time. I thought that was so sweet.
