Hello! I have a class asignment to gather information and experiences about a goal I have set for one of my college classes. I am asking for people to submit stories, experiences, and information about the AT and PCT trails. I will be grateful for any submissions.

What the heck is the AP? Do you mean the AT?

There are plenty of books about these hikes - lots of them on Amazon. Also tons of trail journals online to check out.

Look at the thru-hiker journals online at trailjournals.com and postholer.com for more stories than you could possibly use.

I hope you mean the AT (Applachian Trail), because to the best of my knowledge the AP is a news agency. laugh

Yes. Go to trailjournals.com. It is crammed to the ceiling with exactly what you are looking for.
