I Hike Appalachian Trail

Information on the Appalachian Trail.


Hike for Hope

J. R. Model T Tate is a celebrity on the AT. I'm sure some people say there are know celebrities on the AT, but there are those who have their fair share of publicity, and Model T has his fair share for a reason.
First reason, he's old. Although he is not the oldest to complete the trek, at the age of 70 there is much more of a challenge to hike from Georgia to Maine then for the average 20-something year olds who hikes. Second reason for AT fame is that this was his fourth thru-hike. Not to many hikers have hiked the 2,100 plus miles that many times. In fact only six have done a Quattro Journey. Lastly, his last trip helped raise $35,000 for the Salvation Army. This money will help build a new homeless shelter though the Salvation Army. Donations are still being accepted for his journey/support. You can directly e-mail the Salvation Army with "Hike for Hope" in the subject line. Congrats Model T!
