I hiked the AT NoBo in 2013. Being slightly anal retentive, I kept records of when I started hiking each day & when I stopped. I included this info in a Google Spreadsheet. I was 58 yrs old when I did the hike. I finished just a few days short of my 59th birthday. NoBo hikers might find this information helpful in planning their hike. Also, I used mail drops almost exclusively on the trail. I included info on these resupplies as comments in specific cells.
The spreadsheet is in the signature line of my post. I'll also include it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...t1M/edit#gid=0
Anyway, I wish the 2017 thru-hikers the best. Happy Trails!!
