Exactly how much planning is necessary for hiking the AT? I'm the type of person who wakes up on a day off, grabs my pack, crams some stuff into it and disappears for a few days. I probably couldn't plan a mail drop to save my life. I know I can spend months sleeping on the ground, taking a shower every week or so. I do this every summer. If I just show up at Springer Mt. and start hiking, wander into town to resupply and just hike to my heart's content, could I possibly make it. Physical and mental conditioning is no object, I'm somewhat of an introvert, hiking with people is strange to me. can I just learn along the way? Honestly, I really suck at planning. Thanks
