    Sue, you and your daughter are doing great. The pictures of the AT posted on this blog are pretty cool. Wishing you continued success with the rest of your journey!

    Wanted to let you know my daughter' daughter's wedding was May 5. It went very well. She was a very beautiful bride and I was a very proud father.

    Sam you and your Mom are brave women to walk through the mountains in the rain and cold. Hopefully the weather will start to warm, but not too warm. Be safe, love the pictures, keep them coming, we really enjoy them and tell all we know about your big adventure!

Travel Day 1

(Posting note:  The girls drove down to Georgia today with Sarge and are preparing for their hike!  So far, the forecast looks wet, but spirits are still high!  The plan is to send pictures/updates whenever cell reception is accessible and battery power is still high.  Stay tuned for more updates as SG squared start the hike and make their way through Georgia!) Drove to the beginning of the AT in Georgia today, super long drive (14 hours!), but nothing compared to what we are about to do!  Our hiker legs are getting restless.  Here, we passed the AT on the PA Turnpike. The stats from the trailhead in Georgia.  ONLY 2190.9 miles left to go!  Easy, right? :) Samantha and I are at the entrance to the approach trail.  Here we go, tomorrow is the big day!!

The beginning

Welcome everyone!! At last - The blog is finally set up and started.  Jonathan and Michael have set this up for us and now it is up to Samantha and me to supply content and pictures.  A note about the blog name - SG squared stands for Susan Grasman and Samantha Grasman - double trouble hiking the Appalachian Trail. I cannot believe all the snow we had yesterday.  Hopefully, we have seen the last of it and it will warm up by Monday down south especially in the evenings. We are busy gathering last minute supplies and weighing everything.  More about final pack weight later when we get to Georgia. Special thanks to all regarding supplies and much needed support and encouragement for this journey. We are very excited and (I'm) a little nervous waiting for the start date. (Supply Sergeant Mark is ready to keep us going throughout the Trail!) We have checked out all of our gear ensuring everything is working properly and we have what we need.  The ...
