On this date on June 7, 1974, after skipping my high school graduation, I climbed Springer Mountain with a dream to hike the entire Appalachian Trail, some 2,000 miles long.
That's one sweaty 18 year old. My hike along the approach trail, an 8 mile climb as found on the USGS Topo Map!
The dream was to end June 12th, 1975, but the memories are forever.
