After a two year absence from the AT, Tripper and I finally got to go near the AT again this past week. We made reservations at the Len Foote Hike Inn to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary. The weather was just right and the food at the Inn delicious. We had a great time.
We met Richard Judy who thru hiked in 1973, Maine to Georgia and he shared a little about his hike and those of his son, Optimus Prime (2002?) and daughter, Steady (2004?). His story was very interesting and he seems like a very nice person.
If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend a visit to the Len Foote Hike Inn. It's an easy to moderate hike of 5 miles through the beautiful North Georgia woods. And you can't beat the food once you get there.
