At last! After seven miles of hiking from Amicalola Falls, they're at the Southern Terminus of the Appalachin Trail! Note the trail in the background. Must be some kinda feelin'.

"See, Jim. It's just a short, little hike."

Appalachin National Scenic Trail. Springer Mountain, Elevation 3782'. Southern Terminus. Chattahoochee National Forest. Georgia to Maine.

Or bust.

It's far. But it's also up and down!

Yeah, but the views!

A piece of the trail through the Chattahoochee National Forest.

And another.

"I use to know how to sit on a couch."

Rick showin' a little leg to catch a ride.

It's all downhill from here.

Sleeping under the rhododendrons.

And sleeping on top of a bald.

A new friend?
