I’ve been poking around the net today looking for interesting articles to go in an upcoming newsletter. I had forgotten that I wrote this article back in 2000 for Backpacker Magazine. I remember it was astonishingly hot when I went to hike this trail (seems like it was Summer of 1999).
We hiked it (Jonathan Merkle was with me) in sections and went back into Anniston, Alabama to eat pizza at a place called, I think, Matas. It was really good pizza, the place was a total dive. backpacker.com/gear/562. Here’s the link in case anyone’s interested!
