where'd you pull off the 18?
i'd help you if i lived closer, beer and grub! good luck,have fun and tear it up! :-)
let us know how it goes

The 18 miler was between Mt. Race in Massachusetts and Tom Leonard Lean-to. It was done in the dead of summer and wasn't intentional, we left without adequate water purification and even though there was plenty of water it was all flowing directly out of livestock fields. We ran out of water about 5 miles short of the shelter and were nauseous and not thinking straight from dehydration when we we got to the lean-to at about 11:00PM, then I had the privilege of hiking the steep .25 mile side trail to the stream to refill. Best tasting water I've ever had.

Hey we could have a drawing or somthing too,I'll throw in a snake bite kit.

Why would I ever want to bite a snake, and what kind of kit would I need in order to do so?

And they say Connecticut people are lordly and unfriendly. ...

We're not unfriendly, we just have a different version of friendly. I just got back from a trip to rural Georgia and it scared the heck out of me that people were being genuinely friendly. Each time they smiled and said hello, the Manhattanite in me wanted to know what their agenda was.

will you have a blog we can follow? will you be carrying a SPOT?
please post the usual color coded map with a pic of you in the corner on a mountain looking into the distance and the blue and red lines and pictures of airplanes, shuttles and trains you may be taking to start and finish. you could include elevations but not necessary.
you should try to get a sponsor!

Drop dead brilliant! Maybe I could get a scooter company to sponsor me, then I could get the trail name Jazzy.

Supported or un-supported?

Depends on whether I can con someone into supporting me.

I did one once -- well it was almost 20 miles, maybe 19.8.

This is whiteblaze, always feel free to round up when stating distances hiked. I think that you are able to round a 19.8 mile trip up to 23 miles when posting on the internet.
