By Jean McDanal Adam and Michele Phillips’ bucket-list adventure began in March in Georgia as they hit the Appalachian Trail, with plans to hike all 2,180-f miles of it. The trail goes through 14 states and two national parks, and takes the average hiker six months to complete. Adam and Michele hope to end up in Maine in September. Conceived in 1921, built by private citizens and completed in 1937, today the trail is managed by the National Park Service, US Forest Service, Appalachian Trail Conservancy, nurrierous state agencies and thousands of volunteers. The Phillipses have been selected by Warrior Expeditions (WE), a non-profit veteran support organization, to be a part of the 2022 AT (Appalachian Trail) Class. In addition to getting the gear shown here, they were to re ceive the remainder of their equip ment when they met the rest of the team. According to Michele, “If you i don’t know who WE is, you really need to check them out. They will be supplying everything we need to have a successful hike, except a new body! We are so fortunate and humbled to have this opportunity.” Follow their progress on Insta- gram: freezinlilchick, warriorex- peditions or on Facebook: Michele Haft Phillips, Warrior Expeditions. Best of luck to Adam and Michele! Standard Pre-Sort Permit #35 ■J i-J't:? • Atlantic Iteach, NC 28512
