Jim is walking for a cure
Jim will walk the entire Appalachian Trail 2,175 miles!
He plans to do this in five and a half months to six months. This will
give him one day off each week from hiking to rest and resupply.
His winter backpack with jacket, winter clothes and winter
sleeping bag, weighs 41 pounds. In the summer he will have it down to 32
pounds maximum.
A friend will mail supplies and food Jim has pre-packed and
lighter clothes to towns along the trail. Jim will mail his winter things
home when the weather eases.
