My friend and I are newbies at this and we want know where is the best place to start. We live right in the Kettle Moraine Southern Unit so that has all been covered with day hikes and such. We want to start preparing for the AT hike in 2013. We figured we'd 'practice' with a few 3-4 day hikes, but have NO Idea where to start. I cannot seem to find any detailed maps of anything. We are interested in Nicolet area. Thoughts?? Ideas??? Thanks!!
