Appalachian Trail Thru Hiker Dies

Its always a sad day when someone you love passes away. For those who have hiked the trail, a special affinity and speculation on "what went wrong" also occurs.

Here's the link for the article concerning the guy who died in Maine:

In the end, we all will die somewhere. I'm happy this man was not alone, nor stuck someplace he didn't want to be.

 

This was his third thru-hike, and I give special thanks to all the family members  and trail angels who supported him emotionally and assisted him in living his dreams.
