    Expect beauty and general awesomeness!!!

    I hiked in Maine last July/August and it was perfect. I will be hiking this year late September/October in Vermont, maybe we will cross paths.

    Salisbury, CT has a hostel. I can't remember the details but they are on Guthooks. There is an older woman who picks you up and drives you to her house. I stayed there in 2018 when I did that...

    Agree that you will be just fine. During my trip up to the Northeast, two weeks ago, I did a section from W. Mombasha to Wawayanda state park. (Finished NY!!!) It was beautiful but there was a...

    I don't see why not. Liberty Corners Road has no parking, but I think you could pull to the shoulder for a quick drop off. Check google maps. It doesn't seem like a super busy road, but people go...

    I did that exact same hike last January. I used Mosey for a shuttle. She is awesome and should be in the shuttle list. Leave your car at the hiker lot which is 0.2 from the High Point visitor...

    As others have said, fly into Albany. I did this in Sept '20 and used Vic LaPort to shuttle me. He can take you from baggage claim to the trailhead. It obviously costs more that public transit but...

    Wait, there was a typo, you meant to say 579.9 instead of 559.8 for your first day. I didn't catch that. Your plan looks doable then.

    Do you realize that your first day is a shuttle which takes 60-90 minutes and then 32 miles? Based on the rest of your days, that seems really long.

    Maybe you should shuttle on the first Friday...

    Call Julie at 317-417-5351. She charges $10 per pick up and $1 per mile one way. Recently used her (her husband actually drove us) and they were great. Rid was way, way cheaper than Standing Bear....

    2 Tips that might be useful.

    1) The Indian restaurant in Hanover is really good.

    2) If possible plan to camp by Wachipaula Pond at mile 1792.2. There are gorgeous sites right near the lake. ...

    I am a little younger than you by 4 years but I still try to think that I am still young until my body tells me I can't. I walk quite a bit when not hiking which helps keep my legs fresh.

    I like...

    Somehow it seems like cheating not climbing Mt, Washington ;) It was memorable climbing in the wind and cold where I only see the next carin (sobo). I made a wrong turn and took the bypass trail...

    I disagree that it would be pure chaos, because I think it already happened. There were cases in Paris and Sweden far earlier than first thought. I believe the same for NY. Didn't they do a...

    I understand why you bring it back to the ethics of hiking, that makes sense, however the ethics *depend* on how we interpret the what is going on.

    You tell them nothing, it isn't your business whether other adults hike or don't hike.

    Do you also drive slow in the left lane to help enforce the speed limit?

    Congrats. I started sectioning the Pinhoti last year myself. I am very impressed with it so far. Eventually, I hope to have hiked in a continuous path from Flagg Mt to Katahdin.
