Day 10 (July 4th)

I started today in rain. Fortunately, I had a short, 10-mile, predominately-downhill hike planned. Everything worked well. I am staying in a motel in Killington, Vermont. I will clean up and resupply for the next four-day push into New Hampshire, my second of 14 states touched by the AT.

About Sodak

I have attempted and successfully completed many physical challenges over the years, including marathons, cross country bicycle trips, and hundred mile plus hikes. My interest has evolved into a desire to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail (AT), a 2,100-mile trek over rough terrain along 14 eastern states.

I plan to document the experience and its effects on me and others, exploring how the experience of thru-hiking -- i.e. continuously hiking to complete a trail in a single season -- creates opportunities for self-discovery and learning. The field notes will ultimately form the data for a qualitative study and dissertation for a doctorate in Educational Leadership from the University of St. Thomas.
