Did the PMT Memorial Day weekend. 7 miles per day, 42lbs on my stupid back, and I survived, if just barely. Its a beautiful trail.. and it's hard as crap for an old fat lady carrying WAAAAYYYY too much pack weight....... But I did it.
I just wonder... how does the PMT compare to the AT? If it's comparable, I know now that I am not yet ready for the AT. I shall keep on training and doing the weekend shake downs. I will say, I learned a wealth of information with this one. There is no education like experience.
