Doing this a tiny section at a time is depleting my soul...
The trail calls me. One day I will go.

I did a super quick hike to pick up a section of the Appalachian Trail I left stranded between two section hikes. This section goes between the roadside parking on US40 Baltimore National Pike, over the I70 footbridge, to Washington Monument State Park. http://dnr2.maryland.gov/publiclands...ashington.aspx

I’ll eventually hike all the sections and claim the whole 2189.2 miles. At some point I plan to also do a complete through hike. The Washington Monument is interesting and the park is nice with good restrooms, frost free water, and benches to sit on. There is a lot of history on this part of the trail.
