The Appalachian Trail starts (or ends, depending on your perspective) at Springers Mountain, a few miles south of where I am this week. If you're interested in a little virtual hiking check out the the Appalachian Trail Conservancy's Web site for an interactive map. You can zoom into the map at any location and see the topography.
At approximately the half-way point you could zoom to Duncannon, Pennsylvania and see where the trail crosses my river (the Juniata), and then the Susquehanna River at Clark's Ferry.
Or, you could zoom at the Southern end of the trail and see what the landscape is like where I'm working this week -- in the Northwest Georgia mountains.
I could walk to work if I wanted to. Except that it would take six months to get here!
