FIRST FULL WEEK 2008 RR SEASON

March 17th closes out the first full week maintaining the AT from Fontana to Mollies Ridge Shelter and up to Spence Field and back. I usually hike out on Thursday morning and come off the trail on Monday afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday I am based at Fontana Village. The folks at Fontana graciously provide a cabin for the RRs off days.
Also happy to report that everyone we speak to about my upcoming PCT hike are very supportive and especially about the fact that I am hiking for the Home of the Innocents . We have a total of 5 colorful posters on display at Fontana and in Gatlinburg.


There have been several NOBO thru hikers so far this year and I even met one SOBO hiker. Great group of hikers. Attached are several photos for your enjoyment.

Keep hiking,
Greybeard
