"Things" in my life are beginning to line up for me to be able to hike on the AT for 2019. My plans are quite modified from those of the past 2 decades. My hiking partners will be my car(s) and my service dog Polly. I was trying to figure out how to accomplish the car thing about 3 years ago, even using little mini cars to figure out how such a thing could be done smoothly when SLOW AND STEADY was published. Ahhh. It works. All that is needed is a second auto and a steady pace of 10 mpd. My reason for wanting the 2 autos and aiming at 10 mpd is my dog. We could be within less than 10 miles from any need she might develop. Also, we will be capable of moving up and down the trail to where it is "Cool Breeze" acceptable. That is the nebulous plan.
