correction
In the Nov. 8 issue of
The New Lenox Patriot,
we ran a story titled,
“Lincoln-Way Central
coach takes (10) trails
less travelled in nature
hike challenge.” To be
clear, Coley O’Connell
did not hike the entire
2,200-mile Appalachian
Trail in only 14 days;
rather, O’Connell hiked
portions of it over the
course of 14 days, in
what is referred to as
the 14 Days in 14 States
Challenge. Readers can
find out more about that
here: appalachiantrail.
org/home/explore-thetrail/day-hiking/14-statechallenge.
The Patriot
regrets any confusion
caused by the article.
