I'm trying to get an early start on the trail to beat the masses, just wanting to see who else out there is doing the same. If you are, let me know!
Also, I am still aquiring some of my gear, and have a question about shoes... Originally I was planning on just going with high top traditional hiking boots, but they would take forever to dry out and the weight would put more stress on my back so I am opting for low tops or trail runners. Does anyone out there have advice on what type of shoes I should get for my thru - hike? Waterproof or no? Three pairs or just get one and buy more shoes when needed along the way?
I appreciate any advice!
