Out of the Jungle and Into the Woods

Our journey through a few American cities and then north along the Appalachian trail between Georgia and Maine.

We've done about 500 miles and finished

We've done about 500 miles and finished 3 states. We're staying the night in Marion, virginia but unfortunately there's not a computer to be found. The photo is of our tent with one of the trail shelters in the background. Unfortunately we can't do a more complete post until we find an internet cafe, which may not be for another week or more.

We've met three other aussie hikers from Perth and we both got a package sent from home containing vegemite, tim tams and other australian stuff. It's always funny to see the look on the face of an american trying vegemite for the first time.

We plan to hike on for about another week before hitching a ride back to Damascus for 'trail days,' a hiking festival where there are free equipment give aways and lots of beer (even if is only the american stuff).

Glad to see some Mullet Head hasn't kidnapped you. I google every location you guys report from. Wow. You are in the middle of the true "Sticks".

Now, if I can only find a local source to expand my culinary horizons and try some Vegemite.
