This morning hiker Garland in Hiawassee, Georgia

Walhalla’s Wayne Garland on foot this morning is in Hiawassee, Georgia.  For Garland, that’s a notable achievement.  It means he’s fewer than 70 miles from the finish line of his north-south hike on the two thousand-plus mile Appalachian Trail.  He projects he’ll be able to finish his hike between noon and one o’clock Saturday afternoon.
