South Bound North Carolinians

Hopeful thru-hikers Stan Seals and Seth Wells are profiled in an article by Michael Jaenicke titled "Hike of a lifetime" that appeared in the Robesonian from Lumberton, North Carolina on 4 June 1007. Most of the piece is actually about Seals, a 2007 graduate of Appalachian State University. Seals is from Lumberton, Wells from Wilmington. Both are headed southbound, starting on 19 June. They hope to average 16 miles a day once they get their trail legs.

Seals

"works for Mount Alliance, a non-profit organization that offers outdoor adventures to high school students. Seals has raised about $2,000 for his trip and hopes to make a sizable donation to Mount Alliance."

Nothing about a web site mentioned in the article.
