Friend of mine is doing an AT thru-hike

My friend Gary, aka Garmachi, is starting a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail.    Here is a link to his website with a blog of his adventures, that have already started in his shakedown pre-AT hike with a bear encounter:

He also has a kickstarter program for the book he is going to write about his trip.  I can promise you that if it's anything like Gary is in real life, it will be very entertaining reading.  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1535439444/wheres-the-next-shelter
