    am reading the book about her and what an extraordinary person & story! She had true grit & was so resilient despite all the abuse she received from her husband.

    I have no words 😶 I’m from Ohio and it’s crazy that very few people here knows of her. She’s a true LEGEND !! I hike the Buckeye trail but this A.T is on my list.

    I’m reading Grandma Gatewood’s Walk. Picked it up in Bryson City NC, near the section she hiked through at the Nantahala. Such a great story, and as a hiker, I can only dream of doing what she accomplished. What an amazing lady. A new hero for me. God bless you all!

    My son and his friend finished the AT last year. It took them 5 months. I'm getting him this book for his birthday.

    Hollywood should make a movie about her adventures. Why hasn't it done yet!?

    I read her book I’m trying to build up my endurance to attempt the trailI’m a type two diabetic and I think if she can do it I can do it

      The rough rule of thumb is “be able to run a mile” before attempting a thruhike. Should serve as a good benchmark fitness level. Good luck! :)
