An otherwise ordinary fellow with Asperger's Syndrome decides to hike the Appalachian Trail and ends up doing so a piece at a time over the course of eight years. The journals kept during those hikes chronicle one man's quixotic quest as well as offering glimpses into both the Appalachian Trail as well as the Aspergarian mind.

In the Spring of 2001, I strapped on a backpack and attempted to hike the entire length of the Appalachian Trail. I made it as far as Damascus, Virginia. In the Summer of 2002, I returned to pick up where I had left off. I hiked southern Virginia that year. Here is my trail journal from that hike. It is the second of eight.

In the Spring of 2001, I attempted to hike the entire length of the Appalachian Trail. I had little experience with traveling on my own and no experience at all with backpacking. I also had Asperger's Syndrome & an anxiety disorder. Here is my journal from that wonderful mess of a hike, so if you want to see what the Appalachian Trail looks like to a fellow with Asperger's, then read on.
