You all know maybe that I am re-hiking the trail in sections - I've got about 1100 miles complete including everything south of Atkins, VA, plus all of CT,NY,NJ plus VT and NH to Pinkham (plus some random 95 miles in Shenandoah (Harpers to Elkwallow).
I can do 100 miles a week in most conditions and want to do 200 +/- miles in LATE MAY / EARLY JUNE.
One idea was to do the BMT (not AT miles) which is about 300 mies but I don't have a partner for this and it might be a bit lonely solo and it might work better as a Fall hike (snakey, wet, hot in May).
Another idea is just to pick up in Atkins, VA and see where I get but I'm afraid I'll be right on the NOBO bubble and it will be too crowded. T
he last part of NH and ME is also out due to mud and flies, so, give me some ideas for a 200 mile / two week hike in May - - how about all of PA - - not super sexy but the miles are right?
