Start of Tim & Gerri's 2014 thru-hike attempt
We are retired Air Force Majors who are living their life to the fullest after retiring after 20+ years.  Retiring from the Air Force has allowed us to quit our jobs and travel to our heart's content.  In 2014 Gerri & her husband Tim attempted a thru-hike and made it 350 miles until Tim's feet and ankles revolted and said, "No, No, No.  Not another step."  We agreed to leave the trail and put the thru-hike idea behind us and continue on other awesome adventures, until...

Gerri couldn't get the idea of the thru-hike out of her brain.  After much discussion, Tim finally understood that this is something Gerri just has to do.  He agreed to support her on her journey and follow along in our truck pulling his motorcycle so he can ride the awesome roads along the trail as Gerri backpacks.

We will begin this new adventure on 2 April 2016 on the border of California and Mexico.  After walking/riding 2,664 miles we should make it to Canada sometime in September.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go. -- T.S. Eliot
