I'm not looking to spark a debate on whether its ok to thru hike when you have a family at home, that's already been done here. I'm wondering does anyone know of a woman who has successfully completed a thru hike while she has kids at home that are under 18? Of all the blog/trail journal reading I've done, I've never come across this. I've heard of dads that have done a thru, but not a mom before.
