I’ve been told it was not fair to log off for a month without an obligatory AT map update 😂

Plus, I hear the hard parts are all done 😉

A roughly-chronological trek through 43 miles and 3.5 days on the AT and Maryland and West Virginia. I cannot believe #rushtoharpersferry is complete after 4 years of scheming, planning, spreadsheeting, recalibrating, and hiking our little hearts out.
We finished! I cried a lot. I drove 8 hours back north to New England. Will share More soon, but not tonight! Zzzzzzz.
#rushtoharpersferry
Stunning campsite and sunset after a 16 miler yesterday (left); and now awesome shelter with separate enclosed sleeping loft today (right). We beat the rain by 11 minutes! Grand finish is tomorrow morning #rushtoharpersferry
Cozy at camp. Tomorrow is our “big” day; wish us luck!

To celebrate New Years Eve, here's a story about Thanksgiving, aging dogs, and taking it one step at a time.

It’s not about taking additional risks, it’s about lowering my responsibility-level. The dogs are safe, happy. I’m the only one I (and possibly you!) need to worry about as I dodge copperheads and traverse knife-rock fields.
Let’s do this. Duncannon or bust.
#rushtoHarpersferry
In 4 days, we will drive to Auntie’s. In 5 days, I will leave the pups at camp and head south. And in 6 days, I will start a BIG big-kid hike.
I am attempting 143 PA Appalachian Trail miles in 8 days. Beyond the obvious, let me explain why this is bonkers.
#rushtoharpersferry
A weekend of prep for upcoming adventures. Out of practice. Unsure of my fitness and recovery. Going for it anyways. #rushtoHarpersFerry
4/4 #rushtoharpersferry
234 miles to go on this year’s goal…in only three more hikes 😳
Wylie and wolfy butts on the trail, with an obelisk on a hilltop in the background. The Obelisk marks the high point of the stage of New Jersey, in High Point State Park
Wylie and Laura crossing a suspension bridge over the Hudson River, with a sunrise creating a light burst across the image
For those off of the other platforms (X/Insta): we finished both NJ and NY Appalachian Trail in November and now we’re fully pivoted to training for the Iditarod Trail Invitational 350.

Ok [FINALLY!]:
These 26 miles marked the final miles in the Empire State, our 7th state ✅ on the AT. Up next in 2024: PA and MD, ending in Harpers Ferry.
.
But first I have a little business in Alaska.

#rushtoharpersferry
As ever: New York selfie, New York final mile! #rushtoharpersferry
AT in New Jersey ✅
State number 6 is complete, and 4th completion of 2023! /fin
#rushtoharpersferry #hiketheat
I try to remember to take a selfie in each state, and also a photo in the final mile of each state. Here are New Jersey’s! #rushtoharpersferry
NOV 10-12: WE FINISHED NJ HIKE:
The dogs and I spent a 2.5 day weekend finishing up the AT in the Garden State. #rushtoharpersferry #dogsthathike #wylieandwolfy
Quick break from my November social media break to share: in two years of weekends and long weekends, I’ve now walked over 40% of the Appalachian Trail.
If you want to accomplish anything, discipline wins over motivation, every time 🤍
#rushtokatahdin #rushtoharpersferry
For those keeping track: that’s zero miles remaining in our #rushtokatahdin. My original goal of completing the AT through VT, NH, and Maine is now official complete. With a little extra to the south as we also work to #rushtoharpersferry
These 46 miles knocked off pretty much the entire state of Connecticut in one go (we had already done the northernmost ~5 miles).
Only a few holes left to fill in for 2023!

I have dozens of pics from this past weekend, but these are my two favorites.
46 miles on the Appalachian Trail, finished Connecticut ✅
#rushtoharpersferry #dogsthathike
That’s about 25 miles completed, and Massachussets officially completed.
.
#rushtokatahdin was supposed to be complete before I was checking off states for #rushtoharpersferry, but Maine simply refused to cooperate. Time to keep plugging away at the Pine Tree State…
Massachusetts AT is complete!
#rushtoharpersferry
Beauty rest, before we hit the trail tomorrow. About to check another state off our AT list.
#rushtoharpersferry #wyliedogg
2024 planning commences.
We’re coming for you, PA!
