Why hike the Appalachian Trail? - Because it's their. It is hard. I have time. I need to simplify my life, at least for a short time. Walk, Eat, Sleep, that will be my day.
How far is it? - 2000 miles more or less. I am a 'Southbounder' (SOBO) meaning I am starting in Maine and walking through 14 States and end up in Georgia.
How long will it take? I don't know. 6 months maybe... I'd like to be done by Christmas.
Who is going with you? - No one. This is a solo hike.
Where do you sleep? In a tent, or a lean-to if i'm lucky.
What do you eat? I'm starting with dehydrated food, M&M's, Slim Jims... More on that as I go. Also, I plan to stop at towns along the way to resupply.
What if it rains? - I get wet.
Can I call you? Sure but you will get my voicemail (and you know how good I am at returning voicemail). Not much cell service on the trail as far as I know from my research.
How much does your backpack weigh? 20 pounds at the moment... plus 10 pounds of food - 5 days.
Are you crazy? Yes!
