My wife and I thru-hiked the Appalachian trail from Georgia to Maine in about 5.5 months. Then we took some time to slow down before hitting the workforce again in 2008. The biggest takeaway from this amazing experience is that you meet folks from all walks of life and their status in society didn't matter. We all became people helping people move through life's challenges. Reflecting on this adventure often grounds me when I feel the spin cycle is moving too fast.
