Hello
I am a new member and would like to know a few things;
1) I would like to try to hike some of the AT for a few days this summer. I have been to most of the states it runs through so I would like to hike in some of the New England states. Can someone tell me which are some good 3-4 day treks?
2) I have done only a few miles of the AT in my life (from Delaware Water Gap in New Jersey - Sunfish pond. a whole 12 miles R/T). I have done a little bit of research on it though, but I am just now hearing of "shelters." Are these lean-to's or something like cabins for hikers to spend the night.
I am sorry if these questions sound a bit childish and dumb but I have little AT experience. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
