In an article by Taylor Leonard published on 2 February 2007, the Catoosa (GA) County News reports that three local guys have hit the Trail heading north.
"Park officials don’t recommend hiking the Appalachian Trail until May 15, but three young men set off Saturday for a complete thru-hike of what back-packers call the 'AT.'
"Grant Harris of Catoosa County, Jeff Richardson of Whitfield, and John Cochran of Murray gathered Thursday, Feb. 1 at East Tech to have one last hurrah before beginning their five-month journey." The idea is, first, that they stay warm; and, second, that they finish by July in order to be able to earn some money before their fall semester in college begins.
Despite the date on the article, it ends saying that the trio started from Springer on Saturday, 3 February.
