2,000 miler. Still keepin' on keepin' on.

Getting lost is a way to find yourself.
Hey Jeremy,
Heading north from Bear Mountain Zoo for about 18 days. Will be starting to hike June 1st, I believe. Plan to make it to somewhere in Mass..
Possibly do another trip in Oct. continuing north from where I end up in June. Fall is a nice time for Vermont.
Have fun on your section, let us know how it goes.
It still sucks (rocks wise) until you get to High Point, NJ.Originally Posted by HikerMomKD

Davenport Gap to Fontana March 30. Taking the BMT to avoid the crowd of NOBOs on the AT. Made my reservation on the GSMNP site -- quick and painless.
We live close enough that almost half the trail is within range for a 3-4 day weekend. Don't know if we'll succeed or not, but we might someday complete the whole trail. To keep that within the range of possibility, we are trying to do two trips up north each year, and use the southern half to keep in shape.
With that in mind, we have scheduled one section hike per month (except July/August). We like to skip around: we just did a piece south of Damascus; next one is Hot Springs to Davenport; after that we'll take a whole week to mark off a chunk of Pennsylvania; Neels Gap to Dicks Creek after the thru-hikers are gone, NOBO from Grayson Highlands in June. In the fall we're doing two or three small pieces of Virginia, and hopefully half of Vermont.
If we don't kill ourselves before the end of the year, we'll have added 350 miles to our total.
I am going to do a section SNP and, althought it is not the AT....Lake Placid Trail....July.
spring break i'll connect my miles from standing bear farm to erwin, tn. then july the plan is all of maine, SOBO.
