For whatever reasons, I never intend to hike the whole AT. I still admire those of you who do, and, who knows, maybe some day I will hike the whole darn thing. Is there anybody out there who loves the AT, but, for any reason, does not intend to Thru-hike the whole thing at least for now? I'm not trolling or trying to stir the pot. I don't intend to make people with health reasons feel bad that they can never hike the whole thing. I just love the AT and this website. Anybody else?
