I'm kicking off my first of 2K miles with a 3week section hike and am taking suggestions on where to plan it. I live in CT but would like to go NOBO from the MD/PA area and I figure I could get a good 250 miles in. Being an AT noob I'm thinking to drop off near Harrisburg PA and "walk home." This ignores all other factors besides averaging 10-14 miles a day and having 3 weeks...
I figure NOBO would help even out the weather and PA would be a flat place to start. Getting to the trail from Harrisburg doesn't seem too bad either...2-5 miles?
Any thoughts on where EXACTLY to start or why my plan is terrible???
