Note from Merlot:  

The trail maintainers will be out on the AT tomorrow (Saturday) ..... there is a good chance we might see these veterans on the trail so keep your eyes out for them! I have had an interest in the Warrior Hikers and have been following their journey on the AT since I first saw that ATC was partnering with them .... more on this at ATC's link:

Veterans Offered Full Scholarship and Support to Hike the Iconic Appalachian Trail

If you would like to see how much this program means to the vets participating, both personally and as they raise funds for other physically disabled vets, watch the video by Sharon Smith (aka 'Mama Goose'). Sharon is on the AT this year:
