C-Zur is going hiking.

My name is Cody Zurhellen and I am 23 years old. Last season 3 close friends of mine hiked the Appalachian Trail and initially I had planned to hike with them. However, for a number of reasons I decided to stay home and work. After hiking the New Jersey section with them I knew that I had missed out on a huge opportunity. So I decided on the drive home that I would undertake the trip the following season. Well, here we are...and its time for me to start out.

March 16

~24 miles. Stayed in G-burg.

Today was very long, wet, and cold. Unfortunately I haven't beena ble to see more than 20 yrds away from me at any given time in the last 39 miles. The Smokies are rightly names. Despite not getting in till kinda late Dave and Caitlin showed me a good time for the few hours I was awake in Gatlinburg. Gonna get an early start tomorrow cause my friends gotta go to work. (Good job Dave for getting a job...finally.)

P.S. Thanks Caroline for the care package. I'm sure I'll enjoy the salty nut bars and the Mr. Z jerky.
