I am reaching out to the hiking Moms. I am fortyish and considering a thruhike. I have an older child who is somewhat interested in going with me.
I have most of the gear needed. None of the funds, but plenty of ambition. Child could stay home with Dad and go to school, or come with me on an epic journey, one a last year of homeschooling.
Those who have hiked with kids under 16, how did you plan it, and how much did the kids help with the planning? Or did you just hand them the pack and say,"Let's go for a walk."
I have a loose plan in mind, and still time to save some money. We will flipflop or leapfrog a bit, in order to avoid the busy nobo season.
Advice, stories, links, discussions and gentle opinions are all welcome!
