  1. Hi Harvey
    I am planning to do the AT next year and have just watched all of your youtube clips and glanced through your information...THANKYOU! I am thoroughly grateful for the evident and thorough thought you gave to sharing what you learned.
    I live in New Zealand and have found it rather time consuming pulling information about the AT together (especially hiker's experiences) - your info was fantastic and solved several questions I had.
    Thanks, your effort is appreciated.
