The Irony of Trail Magic
Written by: Katherine “Ringleader” Imp I didn’t know much about the Appalachian Trail before coming out here. I didn’t do a “test run”, nor did I read any books. I just knew that there was something about the trail that attracts millions of people every year and I wanted to be in on that secret. [...]

The Appalachian Trail Community
Written by: Emily “Lightning” Ginger The Appalachian Trail is a different experience for each person who hikes it. For the hikers who have held and hold the record for the fastest hike, it’s a race.

The People We Meet
Written by: Brandon “Monkey” Imp Say WHAA? Where are we? Why is EVERY single person so nice?? We all know that New Jersey/New York has the stereotypes of fast-paced, rude, inconsiderate, and other negativity’s. Granted, most people are NOT like that (it is not a spawning ground of evil); nevertheless, the stereotypes are generally true [...]

A Chance To Breathe
Written by: Katherine Imp I think the biggest fear people like me have about doing a trip like this is that the days will be too slow. Too dull. I’m a lawyer. I’m an entrepreneur. I’m addicted to triple-booking my time. Every day of my life needs a to-do list. And while some days are [...]

Move over frat boys, the sorority sisters are moving in!!!
Written By: Emily Ginger After day one on the trail my ankle gave me intolerable pain with every step. How could this be happening??? I spent $200 on a pair of hiking boots and they did nothing but injure me! When we finally rolled up to Neels Gap, 30.7 miles into the trail, we found [...]

My Story
Written by: Brandon Imp This is the story of transition. Get from point A to point B in two worlds – simultaneously. Physically, I must get from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. In life, I must get from an academic-focused lifestyle to a career-oriented lifestyle. HOW DO I GO ABOUT THAT?

Is That All You Got?
Written by: Katherine Imp Only 20% of the people that attempt a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail actually finish. Okay. I’ve been reading these stats for nearly 2 years, but let’s face it, I’m a lawyer, so I immediately assume that I fall within that 20%. I’ll crawl to Mt. Katahdin if I have to, [...]

No Turning Back
Written by: Emily Ginger Wow! I had just about the craziest departure I could have ever imagined. I left Chicago on a pretty bad foot. Although I have been anticipating and planning for my departure, there’s always something that comes up for which I am unprepared. The day before I left I was standing up [...]

Ten Minutes
Written by: Katherine Imp In 10 minutes I will be driving to Georgia with Brandon, Emily, and Jason. So here goes my stream of consciousness:Two years ago I had this idea to make a film and hike the Appalachian Trail. It seemed simple enough. Buy a camera, wander around the woods with it, and walk [...]
