I live close by and I don’t want to through-hike. I just want to take my dog and go out for long hikes some this summer. I had a great hike today and I need to go even if I have work to do and a house to clean. 11 months ago

unlikely dream, but you never know 3 years ago

I’ve wanted to do this for years. Maybe now I can start planning 3 years ago

And, as I’ve learned, if you want to do something, making specific actions toward that goal are the only way to make it happen. I’ve already set aside the time to do it next spring/summer. Now all I have to do is read up a bit, and plan my food situation. 4 years ago

i have had the desire in recent years to take a break and just vanish. i would love to be able to take the time to vanish and go to the AT and spend six months with myself and the elements. maybe something of a rebirth. 5 years ago

This is going to be the first thing I do when I get out of the Air Force. It will be a wonderful way to clear my head and figure out where I want to go from there.

Except that I get out in August… hmmm, might need to plan this a bit more. Maybe do it N—> S? Or just get really cold.

Or wait until spring. 6 years ago

so i’ve hiked the first 100 miles 3 times. twice to see other people off on their own thru hike. and once when i attempted to thru hike the at in 1999. my wife and i only made it 300 miles that time. she got bored and i had wicked foot pain. but i still want to do it. i’ll probably get better shoes next time, lose weight before i hike, and south bound it for some peace and quiet. but now that i’ve got a kid, this goal will need to wait until he’s in college (or longer if we have more kids). 6 years ago

While I think it would be really cool to do a thru-hike, I don’t think that is realistic for me. But I would like to do some of it each year. 6 years ago
