Not rain, nor cold, nor wind, nor injuries will keep the Fortunate Sons from attaining their goal.
A group of 18 Marines are three weeks into a 42-week hike that will take them from Clingman’s Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains to Jockey’s Ridge State Park in the Outer Banks along the Mountains to Sea Trail to benefit the Semper Fi Fund. These Marines are participating as teams of two in a relay hike that will take them 1,000 miles across the state to help other Marines.
The Fortunate Sons is an organization of Marines who make it their mission to help their fellow Corps members. A group from Camp Lejeune formed the organization and decided to hold the benefit hike for the Semper Fi Fund, a non-profit organization for Marines and sailors attached to a Marine unit.
I am Jeff Clark, founder of Internet Brothers, producer of this blog, and passionate about hiking. My regular hiking companions have designated me the lead hiker, so I suppose that makes me the slowest Meanderthal. I live in Western NC near the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains. Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests are just out my door, so the content will focus on these areas, but let me know what you would like to see on the site.
