After much slogging through tedious calculations, guidebooks, maps, and web research, I can say that I've successfully completed planning the first half of the hike.
From the approach trail in Georgia to Harpers Ferry in West Virgina, I've got daily mileage, nightly stops, resupply points, and various sights I want to visit figured out.
I will probably go backover that part of the plan tomorrow to double-check things and the I'll start on the second half of the trip next
