I suffered a stroke on July '07 that left me temporarily with no use of my right leg and arm. Through rehab and exercising on my own, all I have left from it is a limp in my right leg. From the day of the stroke my goal was getting back on the AT after a hiatus of about 46 years. Well, this last October I did it, and spent 3 days and 2 nights here on the AT in MA, going from Benedict Pond to Tyringham. Not very far, as I can't go that fast, but it was great to be back! I am looking forward to next year, and I would at some point like to do the Taconics, but I have seen mention that the trail off the Jug End is pretty dicey. I use trekking poles and hike slowly and carefully, but I need some input as to how steep and how dangerous it is. Thanks
