Can someone convince me that hiking through the
mid-Atlantic region (Harpers Ferry->Kent, say) is
exciting? I really like the people along the AT, but it seems that there are several hundred miles of relatively boring terrain. I've only driven across the region and have never hiked it. I've looked at some photos and they haven't been convincing. I'd love to hear from someone who has hiked through the region over an extended period of time and has positive things to say about it.
If I continue my AT walking this spring, I'd be starting in Damascus and heading north. Presumably, I'd have time to go to Harpers Ferry, DWG, or further north, even to Katahdin. But, several hundred miles on uninspiring terrain puts a damper on my enthusiasm.
