Hello, everyone! =) I completed my Long Trail hike on September 30th, but my blog about it is still going at http://www.AnotherLongWalk.com (Each day on the trail I blog every other day, so the blog will run into November.)
But--it's just another blog. If you've read one, you've read them all.
My main reason for posting, though, is that when I hiked the Long Trail, I took about 3,000 photos along the way and worked them into http://www.walking4fun.com where you can do a virtual hike of sorts along the Long Trail for anyone who's interested in that sort of thing. It's primarily meant to motivate people to walk more, but it allowed people to track how much they walk each day, enter it into the website, then it'll show where you would be on the trail along with photos of the people and places you would have passed along that section.
Anyone thinking about doing a Long Trail hike and wants to try a "virtual" version of the hike might find it useful for training purposes, though. =) And... it's just kind of fun to virtually walk a trail!
