its 19 miles a day, but they are easy miles with flat out walking and water is easy to find. i cache my dogs food and will add extra if your bringing your pet. good shakedown hike for yous in da Philly area. total hike 56 miles.

Well I guess you are hiking in between the dates - have you found GPX of the trail - I could not find KML for google earth.
