The Sand Mountain (AL) Reporter reports the start of a thru-hike attempt by Albertville, Alabama resident Joseph Abrahams. This comes in an article by reporter George Jones titled "Local man begins hiking 2,100-mile trail" which appears in the 7 April 2007 issue.
Called "Albertville’s version of the traveling Renaissance man," Abrahams had already been hiking for a while when profiled in this article. He started on 11 March.
Hiking with his dog Go-Jo, Abrahams "began with disappointment when he discovered the Smoky [sic!] National Park’s leg prohibited his traveling companion." Despite not having done that bit of background reading before beginning his hike, it sounds like he'll do fine and finish in time to start med school in the fall.
