Alrighty, so I am fourteen years old and I am trying to convince my mom to let me do the 100 mile wilderness with a friend next summer. My mom loves the idea, she just wants me to do it in a few years when I am older so there is less chance of anything bad happening to me on the trail. Can anyone think of anything that might convince her to let me do this? By the way, I live in Eastern Massachusetts, so if you know of any one to three night hikes that we could do together (maybe in vermont, new hampshire) would be great. Thanks!
