this is a new blog documenting our trials and tribulation on getting started on our hike to Canada from new york city. We will be blogging along the way to put out there our experiences on the trail. We are taking the long path to the Appalachian trail to the long trail in Vermont. This seems to be the most direct way but also the most strenuous. We are planning on ending our trip in Montreal. We are both beginner hikers and this is a blog about how to go out there and just do it.
