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.

Due to the Linden Research Laboratory and the Breeding Center for the National Zoological Park (which "housed" various exotic animals), hiking on the trail adjacent to the area was hazardous to one's health due to the thousands of ticks in the area. Even in the heat of spring/summer, long-sleeved shirts and pants were strongly advised for this portion of the trail.
