Appalachian Trail 2024 Gateways - So much fun!

My support crew, Paws and Rowen, and I enjoy a fun day at the 2024 Gateways (formerly AT Kickoff) where Rowen shows off her strength, we meet the 2nd person to thru hike the Appalachian Trail, 96 year old Gene Espey, and Rowen gets to try on Earl Shaffers hat which he wore on his history making first ever thru hike of the AT. #appalachiantrail #appalachiantrailthruhike #appalachiantrail2024 #backpacking #hiking #atthruhike
