We decided to postpone our start by one day due to weather. We drove from West Virginia to Georgia today through some really bad winter weather. I fishtailed next to a semi, which scared the begeebers out of me (and I'm sure it did the same to my two passengers). We saw 7 accidents along the way due to slippery conditions. We started out in rain, then it turned to sleet, then snow, then rain, the sleet mixed with snow, then heavy snow with snowflakes as big as birds. Once we reached North Carolina, the sun came out, then it turned back to rain all the way to Georgia. The weather is supposed to be rainy and windy tomorrow then windy tomorrow night. So, we'll stay in our hotel room for another day to wait this thing out. That will also give the weather a chance to improve for Theresa's trip back to West Virginia.
Dad (Curtis) and daughter (Laura) have talked about through-hiking the Appalachian Trail for years. We began the journey on March 27, 2013. Dad is still on the trail. Daughter hiked through GA and racked up over 100 miles.
