Thru Hike of the Appalachian Trail 2006. Georgia to Maine! Old Goat Summer 2006.
This video was made by Old Goat to be used in a presentation he made about Thru Hiking the AT. It's a great summary of whats involved in an AT Thru hike. You can read about his hike at his trail journal located at: http://trailjournals.com/chipsadventure/
Enjoy!!

Update (Mar 2009)
Old Goat hiked most of the AT again. Check 6 (his wife) started in GA Mar 2009, planning to hike to Maine together. Due to injuries, the thru hiked turned into a section hike (large followed by others). 1,500+ miles were hiked in 2009, a few more in 2010(more injuries), and hopeful completion this summer 2011.

The tent is a one person Eureka Spitfire. I was very comfortable in it in all weather, I'm 5'6" tall. It does not have a vestibule for equipment but the side door was a big plus.
For all those music critics...The song was getting a lot of air time in 2006. I hiked listening to a Sony Walkman radio a lot. The line "Feel the rain on your face" would come on as I hiked in the rain and I would think "How appropriate".

@wesarnold1 He had just retired. There are many Late 50's+, and 60 year old thru hikers.
