In 2018, I retired from a 29-year teaching job. That fall, I homeschooled my older son and on Feb. 24, 2019, we left Springer Mtn., GA to hike the Appalachian Trail to Maine. Unfortunately, we didn't go far enough, fast enough, and in early August we got off trail 1,325 miles to the north and just inside of New Jersey. We've had time to think about what we can do differently, and we're excited to be heading back out in early February for our 2024 Do-Over Hike! Please join us along our journey. My goal is to post daily vlogs, and I will also be blogging on my website.
