Future thru-hikers might be interested in attending the next Appalachian Trail Institute (ATI) to be held May 15-18 on the campus of Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, NC near the Roan Highlands. This is an intensive, effective, four-day thru-hike preparation/planning program. This session will end in time for participants to attend nearby Damascus Trail Days. The next ATI session will be in December. For more info on the ATI go to my website at www.warrendoyle.com
Happy trails!
