Hey, everybody! I'm considering doing a section hike for around two months sometime in the May-August window of next year. It'll be my first time doing serious backpacking (but I plan on backpacking the Batona Trail in NJ to test out my abilities in the Spring). I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate on what a reasonable distance to cover in 2 months would be, and where I should look at starting and ending. I would like to do an entire NOBO thru hike, but I'm starting grad school soon, and anything that extends beyond the summer would throw off my career goals (the sad reality of being an adult). Any advice is appreciated!!
