While I have completed over 950 miles sectioning the A.T., my husband has only done about 50 - the Roller Coaster, last year. He just found out that he can take time off work at the end of this month, and he wants to hit the A.T. with me for about 200 miles.
Last year, we did it kind of "kushy" - meaning we slack-packed a couple days, hit two hotels... (Completed the 50-ish miles in 4 hiking days).
He understands that this year will not be that way. Is anyone able to suggest which will be more "gentle" on him? (FYI: due to finances, we will only be able to go to one or two hostels during our time on the Trail...).
(These two areas adjoin my "gaps," which is why they are the options!). Thanks for your input!!!!
