Newboots here. Looking to start hiking the AT for both physical reasons and trying to re connect with a person I use to be.

At this time unfortunately I do not have the funds to complete a thru hike or even long distance section hikes. But I did find the 14 state challenge list and I wanted to start there. I have been planning a trip to Harpers Ferry for awhile now and want to kick off the challenge with the 3 state challenge listed in the log for West Virginia.

Has anyone attempted these challenges before that could give me some tips or thoughts on how they went for you.

Thank you.

Keep stepping, its best for the soul
