My husband and I need some advice. We are recently married , neither have thru hiked ( he has much more experience then I ) and we dream everyday of accomplishing such an endeavor. The cost looks to be about 10 grand for us. That's enough for a down payment on a simple home for us. But what do we do??? It's been a year since we first started talking about taking this adventure. Has anyone on here have advice or had to make similar choices as us ?
