We have been planning to walk the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine in the USA for a long time. The hardest part of the planning was working out what we would do about running our business and the farm. Ro and Kieran - two old friends offered to come and step into our shoes, so we leapt at the chance.
The next issue is our visas for the US. If you want to stay more than 90 days you need a face to face interview to apply for a visa. We have our appointment next Friday in Melbourne - we can visit mum and dad at the same time.If we dont get a 7 month visa then we will have to interrupt the walk to fly to Europe for a short stay. You have to leave the continent.
Our daily schedule is now being worked out - we have to finish by October 15th - that is the day that they close Mt Katahdin in Maine for the season. The aim is to walk 12 to 15 miles a day and have one rest day every 7 days. Its been hard getting used to miles rather than kilometres.
