Our son, Mile Hi, thru hiked the A.T. in the spring/summer of 2011. Sadly, he died in September 2014. In his memory, my husband and I took a month and hiked parts of the A.T. in all 13 states from Georgia to Maine in May 2016. Our story is featured on the A.T.'s website for MyATStory, "A Trail for Danny", Season 1, 2nd story entry.
