Living Life to its Fullest: 10/14/10 – Day 19 – At Sea: My mother’s birthday

Today was a good day. It was my mother’s birthday. We kept pretty busy with the ship’s activities and going with her wherever she wanted to go today. At dinner, they had a cake for her, and sang. It was nice. (However, it probably wasn’t very nice that I beat her at Scrabble on her birthday). Shanghai tomorrow!

The Benton MacKaye Trail

The Benton MacKaye Trail (BMT) is a footpath of nearly 300 miles (480 km) through the Appalachian mountains of the southeastern United States. It is designed for foot travel in the tradition of the Appalachian Trail (AT).

Running from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Big Creek Campground on the northern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the BMT passes through some of the most remote backcountry in Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina, including eight federally designated Wilderness and Wilderness Study Areas.

The BMT intersects the AT at each terminus and in the middle, and with it, forming a figure 8: a lower circle of 364 miles, an upper Smokies-only walk of 158 miles, and 'The BMT Loop' - a complete circuit hike of over 500 miles.
