Sarah Watchman + Lucy Driskill (duh)

Sarah and Lucy both grew up in Arlington, VA. Sarah then ventured up to Maine for college, and graduated from Colby College after majoring in Psychology. Lucy ventured south to Elon University in North Carolina where she majored in International Relations. In their free time, they both love all things nature and outdoors, including backpacking and rock climbing, as well as board games and live music. The Appalachian Trail thru hike dream began when they both hiked the Maryland section during their senior year of high school and were amazed at the grit and awesomeness of the thru hikers they met along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will you shower?

We plan to stop in towns about every 7-10 days to stay in a cozy hostel bed, feast, take a hot shower, and wash our clothing. Aside from towns, we will be rinsing in streams and embracing our stink 🙂

What will you eat?

We will pack 4-6 days worth of food at a time and be able to resupply in towns along the way! Our breakfast staple is oatmeal and peanut butter, lunches include lots of salami, cheese, and crackers, and for dinner we’ll have ramen or dehydrated meals that cook with boiling water.

Are you bringing a gun?

No!!!! While this may surprise you, we will not be bringing a gun! While the wilderness can be scary, it is certainly not worth it to carry a gun. Rest assured, we will be armed with our glow in the dark pepper spray.
