I love coincidences and I’m amazed how often they happen in my life.

So, how does a coincidence wind up in a post about walking in High Point State Park? It all began late last summer when I received an email from John Zaccone the creator of the app Walk the Distance. John read my website bio about My Virtual Walk Around the United States and wanted my input about his app. Basically, when you use Walk the Distance, the walking and running mileage measured by your health app is transposed onto a map of the Appalachian Trail. In effect, you are doing a virtual walk (or run) of the AT.
