The Thru-Hikers Secret by M.E. Postcard Hughes

The Thru-Hikers Secret is a compilation of knowledge with a singular goal: to help you achieve a joyful thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. My past career in communications and having a knack for simplifying the complicated provided me with a unique perspective to turn the enormity of an AT hike and its planning into simple strategies: Secrets. As the Secrets are revealed, hikers will learn what will happen and how to manage the vast texture that is an AT thru-hike. Joining the Secrets are more than 130 images to add richness to the communication. I am Postcard after all. From the first hour, first day, week and month, you’ll move forward with greater confidence knowing you have a proven mentor. Where hiking two days may result in adversity, a thru-hike absolutely, positively will deliver it at a level of ten. Wonderfully though, decisions before and during your hike found in these pages may help to avoid “come off the trail” moments while helping you find more smiles in your miles.
