The Appalachian Trail turns 100

This is just a tiny portion of what's sometimes called the longest hiking-only trail in the world. Today we’re in Stokes State Forest along the top edge of the US state of New Jersey and those white rectangular markings tell us that we’re on the famous Appalachian Trail (the 'AT' to those in the know). Today, 8 July 2021, is the trail’s 100th birthday.
