Welcome

Thank you for following us on our Appalachian Trail adventure!  In a few short days, we will be leaving West Virginia and beginning our 70-day journey through the Appalachian Mountains, from Georgia to Maine.  Many of you learned about the Appalachian Trail during your 15-week ArtsBank session at school.  This will be a great way for you to learn more about the trail and what makes the Appalachian Mountains so special.  We will update this blog with stories and pictures when we have access to the internet (remember, the trail goes through several small towns).  Please check back here (http://www.trailrunnerkids.blogspot.com/) often and let us know what outdoor adventures YOU will be having this summer, too!

Enjoy!
Ms. Kadra and Dr. Casseday
(Watch for our "Trail Names" to appear as we begin our journey and meet other thru-hikers.  These nicknames are a magical and fun part of running or hiking on the Appalachian Trail.  Sometimes, we will be calling the Appalachian Trail by its nicknames "the AT" or the "Green Tunnel", too.)
