    US East Running the Trans America Trail (TAT) from WV to the OR coast

    TAT 1.0. Last night we camped just inside Arkansas at the Delta Heritage Trail campground. Technically it is for hikers/tenters, but they let us camp in their parking lot. Nice bathrooms. Mississippi just wasn't doing it for us. Today we'll get to check out the Arkansas portion of the TAT...

    Not sure if the fast group is going to stay together once they get to CO. Some may want to continue west instead of North through CO.

    US East Running the Trans America Trail (TAT) from WV to the OR coast

    It has been wild. Water crossings, steep rocky ascents, and never for sure till you're there where we'll be camping for the night. We've camped in an Ingals grocery store parking lot, a Wal-Mart parking lot, national park campgrounds, and an open field along the TAT. Last night was a heavy...

    Good morning. Day #5. Our campsite had showers, and I think everyone has taken advantage of it. Sometimes it is the little things that make a difference. We have a great team on this trip. Our driver's meeting is at 0830 this morning, and we'll be hitting the road right after that. So far...

    Left Ripley this morning just after 0900. Let the adventure begin! Winding roads, water crossings... and we only missed a few turns (I guess by "we" we mean "me" since I was out front leading). Got into a wonderful campground near Sutton, WV around 1700.

    Eight or nine according to the message I put out about two weeks ago to all the registered participants. I wouldn't be surprised if it was less than that come Saturday. It is the nature of the game, that's why I had the limit set high at 20.

    Set up at the Statts Mills RV park. My trailer is in the RV section near the bathroom building. I'll be in and out doing chores getting ready for Saturday. Wal-Mart us about 20 min from the camp. It is a good bit down a side road after you get off the highway, so you might need to map it.

    That worked! I just clicked a thousand little chevrons, so the waypoints show up now. It's all about knowing where to click to get where you want.
