After several years of almost getting to make the trek, Craig decided that 2006 is the year to "get 'er done!" He'll embark on his long-time dream when Margaret Taylor drops him off at the Metro station in Shady Grove, Maryland. Then, an Amtrak ride to Gainesville, Georgia, where genealogy friends will pick him up and deposit him at Amicalola Falls State Park. The Appalachian Trail doesnít start there, but that is where hikers start. Although Craig will be in the woods for a great deal of the 2,174-mile route, he plans to check in on us at Heritage Books when he can. He'll also be sending journal accounts of his progress which we'll post on a special website to be announced in the next Heritage Books eNews. Each time Craig crosses a state border, we'll put a dozen titles pertinent to that state on sale. So, you'll want to check our websites regularly to see the bargains. Georgia on my mind ... Since Craig is ready to leave for the trailhead at Springer Mountain, Georgia, we're going to launch the first of our state sales right now!
