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.

From William Ewart's journal:

The walk started around 3am in the morning in Washington, DC, and traveled along the C&O Canal to Harpers Ferry, W.Va. The last 10 miles were grueling; and I think I finally arrived around 9pm (actually 10:05pm)---others finished much much earlier.
