Retired Couple Starting a Thru-Hike

Tom Becnel of the Sarasota FL Herald-Tribune has a column titled "Retired couple limps toward Appalachian Trail" in their 24 March 2007 edition.

It's the story of George "Borrowed Time" Whitman and his wife Carol "Guide Dog" Whitman. Long-time New Englanders, they've done long distance sailing, and last year drove a motor home up to Alaska and back. So now, at ages 75 and 64, they're starting a thru-hike. Despite what sound like a lot of medical problems.

Still, it sounds like they have the time and the right attitude. Follow along in their online journal.
