RED-DOG

[QUOTE=RED-DOG;1288380]I am doing this from a labtop a trailangel is leting me use while sitting on the side of the road someplace in New Jersey, eating one of their delicious apples and decided to come on here right now i spent roughly 6000 dollars and thats gear and every thing i will probably spend around 8000 this year. This is the most costly year i have ever seen on the AT on my Flip-Flop in 96 i spent 2600 and in 2006 i spent 4500. and the price is only going to rise by. What you spend most of your money on is food and lodging north of Harpers Ferry eveything basically doubles. so whatever you are budgetting on your thru-hike next year or whenever you better double it or your funds want make it. I got to go i have used to much of these nice folks time. RED-DOG ( Flip-Flop 96 GA-ME 06 and again in a very costly 2012 ) Good luck to you all and save that money.:cool:[/QUOTE]
