Resetting on the Appalachian Trail

Resetting on the Appalachian Trail

Recently retired and feeling somewhat out of sync Phil Barlow, AKA “Bald Eagle” set out on an epic journey to hike the entire Appalachian Trail from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mt, Katahdin, Maine. The adventure turned out to be the “Reset” he was looking for and one of the most exhilarating and rewarding experiences of his life. Join “Bald Eagle” as he traverses north on the oldest mountain range in the world. Many of the lessons he learned while hiking the AT are trail specific, however many others can be applied to real-life situations that occur anytime and anywhere. These lessons will, no doubt, encourage you to be open to new possibilities and to explore new and different ways of doing things. Enjoy the journey!!
