I am so proud of my son Collin! He has made it 7 days on the Appalachian Trail trek from Georgia to Maine. He's about 25 miles from the Georgia-North Carolina border, in a town called Hiawassee. His trail name is "Indy"!

The first two days of the trek were in rain, and today, he was in rain most of the day. He set up camp early tonight, as he was cold and soaked. He's grown so much in the week on the Trail, and in the Journey from Maine! He's spent 6 nights on the Trail, and one night in a cabin.

Keep going Collin! Walk until you can't walk anymore and then come home! You have done more in 1 week than I could ever imagine! You're on a life changing journey! You have so many people on your side saying prayers and cheering you on!
