Where Did Jim Walk

Left and below are images from Jim’s very first long hike on the Appalachain Trail!
Jim kept detailed notes each day of his long walks, but he never compiled a list of those walks.  We will try to recreate a list with the help of Appalachain Long Distnace Hikers Association records, Jim’s notebooks and my feeble memory!

Jim On Ocean To Ocean Hike
This image is from the ocean to ocean journey Jim completed in 1975-1976.  Many weeks of planning and helping hands were the foundation for Jim’s journey. A few family members and friends joined along the way but much of this was solo.  Jim’s writings after this journey were never published, but maybe one day!
