If you could: would you do back to back thru hikes? That is, no responsibilities, “unlimited” funds, great support base, good health, etc. I.e.: would that be your dream trip to get to Maine (or Georgia) touching the marker & heading back to Georgia (or Maine) all in the same trip?
I think that would be a great trip, but I don’t know if I could do it. You would have to start at Springer seriously early, maybe even January. And, so I think, rest days would have to be minimal wouldn’t they? That would solve the problem of getting a shuttle from the other end; you could even leave your car at or near the start, after all, it’s within walking distance :)
How about living on the trail & just doing thru hikes year after year? Boring? Dream life? A bit obsessive? You could have 2 apartments/houses, one in Maine & one in Georgia.
