I want to maintain a diary during my upcoming AT thru hike and if possible I would like to do an online journal so family and relatives can follow along.
I will not have (and don't really want to have) any electronic gizmo with me where I can just type my journal and then upload all that to the web. So how do I get a journal written out long hand in a book on to an internet trail journal site? I know it is done as I have seen several journals at various sites. Does everything have to be retyped on a computer? I am hoping not but I can't currently see any other way.
If I have to re-write (or type the hand written jouranl) on a computer..then I may as well wait till I get home after the hike is done. Or perhaps mail pages along the way back to home base and have someone else type it.
I presume most hikers maintain some kind of hiking diary during an at th ru hike. Do many or most put their journal on the web? any idea what proportion may be?
I have no experience with on line journals and am looking for how to adivice..not advertizing of someones on line journal website.
Thanks,
David
