Note: The new plan for 2025 is a two-part hike from Harpers Ferry, West Virginia to the Vermont-Canada border along the Appalachian Trail and Vermont's Long Trail. Part 1 begins mid-April in Harpers Ferry, with a new book coming about the Long Trail hike in September. I plan to celebrate the 43rd anniversary of my hike with a sequel Appalachian Trail hike in 2026 and another new book.
