Hey there everyone, my thru-hike was a success! Although technically I guess it would be called a "yo-yo".
Left Journey's End on July 27th, reached Mass on August 16th,
came back to Journey's End on August 8th!
Wonderful trip, thank you to everyone I met!
Couple quick notes---
Had to switch out my 50 degree bag for a 20 degree bag a couple weeks in --- the new bag made my entire trip so much better. Cooked with the fancy feast stove the whole time (when I wasn't cooking over a fire), worked like a charm.
I admit that bringing a compass was almost entirely pointless, I don't think you would need it in the nicer months.
Also, the trip was just fine without the End-to-Enders guide or Long Trail guide. = ) The map is more than enough. However, I did look in on other's books once or twice, and the town maps in the E2E guide are useful.
No, I did not need a 4-season underquilt for my hammock. The ridgerest and 20 degree bag were plenty.
Thanks again to everyone who helped me, and those who helped me prepare on whiteblaze.net!
