Stone's parents and his sister Sarah drove to Georgia and met the younger Stone at the end of his hiking trip.

Stone sprained his ankle about two weeks before his hiking finish date, at Clingman's Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Despite that, Stone continued his trek, which included a few days of rest for his ankle in Towns County, Ga.

Stone has steadily readjusted to a more complex life since he finished hiking the Appalachian Trail last month.

He said Thursday, "It has been different being home, living such a simplified life, and then having friends, family, a car thrown back at you. It's a little hard to take it all at once."
