Joys Abounding

the MACK family (Matthew, Amelia, Charlotte, & Kara) take on the adventure of a NOBO thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2022

2022 NOBO Adventure

Here’s the plan (though you’re never supposed to have a plan with backpacking)

Departure: March 7, 2022

Summit: BY August 7, 2022

2022 AT Mileage: 2193.4 miles

“[The trail] leads not merely north & south, but up to the body, mind, and soul of man.”

Harold Allen, early AT planner & volunteer

We’re a family of four thru hiking together. Our daughters are 8 & 12. We’re running away from the world for 5 months & cannot wait to see what God, and nature, has in store for us.
