A 16-year-old Marilou Wegert is featured on the cover of the 1973 edition of “The Compleat Backpacker,” a now-yellowed, compact paperback; she’s smiling as she poses in front of Fish Creek Falls in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It was a fluke job — she and a friend were each paid 20 bucks to model for the pictures, a stock photo that would circulate in a number of hiking magazines and outdoor guides, her teenage self captured freeze-frame in boots, a bandanna and a hefty backpack. Fifty years later, Wegert, now 66, finished her seven-and-a-half year journey on the Appalachian Trail, 2,200 miles across 38 different trips, a mission that was, she said, all her own. After raising and homeschooling eight children with her husband, Bill, in Amherst County, she said she wanted to prove to herself she could take it on.
