So this is a bit of a venting frustration/question. I'm just wondering how many fellow hikers on here have friends family, and or parents that....just don't really care that they are hiking the A.T. I've been doing packing and researching and getting multiple packages from places. And my Dad hasn't spoken one word about it to me. All he knows is that I'm hiking the A.T. And if I bring up the subject he drops it as fast as I brought it up. I know he loves me, he's my dad, But I feel like he's upset that I chose to leave a good job and follow through with something I love more than anything. And my mom just doesn't want to admit that I'm doing this. Just wondering if anyone else has has or has experienced this kind of tone from family.
