I attempted an LT SOBO and grossly underestimated both the terrain and logistics. Having made only roughly 8 miles in 1.5 days, and seeing that I had 5 days left of food and about 60 miles to my maildrop, at this pace I wouldnt make it and am not in the mood to be stressed out. Im jumping off at Jays Peak to visit some AT friends, and glad of it. Phew, what vicious terrain! So...a few questions for WB'ers.

- What was your LT experience like? Any SOBOs out there? Would love to hear some stories about this trail.

- I may decide to hike NOBO from where the AT and LT split, as Ive done the AT part already. But where exactly is that, and would that help to acclimate?

Back to my heaping helping of humble pie!!!!
