Kanawha Trail Club

Appalachian Trail Hike-Club Member Mustang Sally March 08

Sally, one of our long time club members, left mid March to become  a thru hiker on the Appalachian Trail. She is corresponding with many club members who are anxiously awaiting word from her on her progress. She made it to Neely Gap in Georgia the first week, March 21, and stayed at a Youth Hostel. She arrived about five days later in Hiawassee Georgia with blisters and wrapped ankles. She reports she got a little trail magic upon arrival when a couple who had been thru hikers in the past offered her lunch. She had her first salad in ten days along with  Chicken on a stick and Sweet tea. She will now leave Georgia behind and will continue on to Franklin Tennessee. She thanks everyone for the outpouring of e-mails and support.
