On a sign at the AT-Long Path junction, NY |
Soon after I started my double thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail last year, I came across a remarkable poster by Sara Jones, in which she assembled 444 different photos of AT monograms/logos and initials during her 2008 thru-hike.
That poster inspired me to begin 'photo-collecting' them myself as I hiked. Here's a sampling of a handful of my favorites, selected for variety--examples of the various 'media' on which the logo/monogram appears. There will be more to come in coming posts. Enjoy.
