I plan to backpack every chance I get til Mar 16,2009 (my deceased dads birthday)..I feel being on the trail will prepare me for what I need to be, on the trail.
I am reading many different guide books,maps and more guide books and maps..and books about others trips even watch a DVD or 2 on up til the day I leave on Mar 16,I plan to get as much out of this trail trip as possible..we have many out there before us that has led the way so I feel sure I just have to follow the path they did and I will reach my goal also..be it 300,600,1200, or even the whole through 2176 mile hike to Katahdin..I will do what I do and I will do it well.
