This page will be updated as we send pictures home to my mom to have developed. Getting the pictures up on the web is going to be through the efforts of a few people. My mom will develop the pictures, my Uncle Barry is going to scan in a selection, and then email them to my sister to put on the site. Thanks to all of you for your work! This will give our friends and family a way to enjoy of the sights the Appalachian Trail has to offer. It will also be a good way for Amanda and I to see some of our pictures. As we stop in trail towns we can access our web pages and check out our pictures on the web.
