    It's been 10 weeks since a two-day backpacking trip near Winding Stair, 2 weeks since we did a little dayhike at Max Patch. Does it count if I cross the AT in a car?

    Last hikes on the AT were 1 1/2 years ago - sections in VT and NH. Had to move to TX from NH. I miss the mountains and trails. It's a 4 hour drive now to the nearest decent hiking on the Ouachita Trail in OK/AR.

    You'll let me know when you'll be in CT I hope! I haven't finished it yet and hope to be on my feet fully by then!

    Does walking to the Blue Blaze (or whatever they call it now) count?

    Hiked a small section last Wed- Fri. Already ready to get back out there but it might be a few weeks due to school.

    Was on it last weekend (Webster Cliff to Jackson) with about a foot of snow. I always like seeing the white blazes to remind me of past hikes.
