This is is my first post on my Appalachian Trail Adventure blog. I’m thinking that today marks the official start on my glide path to a May 1st take off on the AT. Just returned from a great two week vacation. Week one was an expedition to the Galapagos Islands with Stephanie and many of our local Cooperstown friends. Week two was a great relaxing week in Florida with my sister Jane, Steve and Grandpa.

Yesterday was a nice hike up to Star  Field in the snow. Much warmer today with a hike to the back trails of Clark Tower with Stephanie.  It’s so nice to live in an area with lots of hills,  which is great  training for the AT

Here are some photos of recent hikes in the Cooperstown area. More to come.
