We started on 371 heading towards Brainerd/Baxter area going through Fort Ripley and Crow Wing going to Baxter. We stopped in at Fleet Farm to get some gear, and we also stopped in at S & W Bait and Tackle to get some bait for the trip. After we came out of Baxter, we went through Nisswa passing many different kinds and shapes of lakes with beautiful views. When we got to Pequot Lakes, the view

This trail, only a third of a mile, would not be a difficult hike for someone who had not just hiked almost four miles in the midday sun, but I could feel the fatigue as I hopped from rock to rock. However the view at the top was well worth

Compared to the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail, the Appalachian Trail is widely regarded as the safest options of the three. This is because the Appalachian Trail is accepted by the communities it runs through. It is common to see members of the community be at the trailhead and offer assistance to those that are passing by. Also, the spans between communities are relatively small. On the Appalachian Trail Conservancy website, they state that do not need to carry more than 6 days worth of food maximum because of how close resupply points

The Appalachian Trail is America's first Scenic Trail. It stretches from Katahdin Mountain in Maine to Springer Mountain in the Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia. This stretch of the trail includes some of the most difficult sections. Some trails are suitable for day hikes or short backpacking hikes.

Taking on a journey stretching well over 2,100 miles, covering fourteen states (from Maine to Georgia) by foot is no simple stroll where at the end of the day a comfortable bed and hot meal would await you. Instead, hiking the Appalachian Trail can be an endless battle with all the elements of mother nature: whereas in one state spring would have sprung already with wildflowers dressing the forest floors and insects buzzing through crisp air, on other parts of the trail it [the weather conditions] would be smothering heat, but meanwhile a few states north the rain would fall endlessly with gusts of cold wind, and snow would blanket the pathways of the trail and more than likely blizzards

The kmz map that I selected and find interesting entails the Appalachian Trail. This 2,190 miles journey travels through 14 states and attracts over 3 million visors each year. The beautiful mountainous adventure coincides with this week’s study of rock formation and a visual experience of land formation. I selected this region of the United States because I wanted to learn more about the trail and my future home state. My husband and I are planning on moving to Kentucky or Tennessee in 3 years and I’ve set a goal of walking part of the Appalachian Trail. I have a bad back and do not think I could manage the entire journey. I have lived in Virginia (while in the Navy) and have traveled all around Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia immensely.

the woods. At first it might not look like a good trail because the very beginning is not good.

The book “A Walk in the Woods” by Bill Bryson was a great read and very much exhibited the division between Americans and the natural world people tend to forget. It takes true dedication to walk through the Appalachian Trail. With sweat, time, and dedication it will pay

Transcendentalism is the idea that our spirits have deep connection with nature. Our ideas go beyond the natural world as we see it. Transcendentalism is a philosophy about self reliance, and individuality. We are more into nature and our mood is more pictured by Nature. When I think about failures and achievements I can always base it off transcendentalism.

Many of the figures of transcendentalism embraced the liberating qualities of individualism, making man free of the social, religious, and family restrictions of the past. Ralph Waldo Emerson, for example, rejected the decaying Puritan lifestyle of New England's past in favor of the Romantic world of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. For transcendentalists, a higher reality lay behind that afforded by the senses; a reality in which people could understand truth and eternity. To reach that world, humankind had to transcend the concrete world of the senses in favor of a more mystical definition of nature. To escape the modern world, transcendentalists fled into model Utopian communities.

Transcendentalism was an American literature movement urging people to look past everyday material life, and reach into their souls to find inner peace with themselves. Transcendentalism originally came from Kantian idealism. This idealism was credited by Immanuel Kant.

One man named Henry David Thoreau realized that being around people changes the way he behaves. In the middle of his life, he decided to stop everything he was doing and go out into nature for two years without any company. He documented his time in the forest in a work entitled Walden. During the conclusion of Walden, Thoreau explained this idea of finding one’s self and reaching one’s full potential. He compared this process to a bug who should have been dead a long time ago.
