Unofficial HikaNation Campsites List

Hiking along the Appalachian Trail was "at your own pace", so HikaNation groups were spread out along the A.T., with various campsites every night. The ones listed at the top of the page are William Ewart's campsites. Photos will try to match the dates of occurence so the photos will not always be William's whereabouts.
