I know we had one try in the last year or so but he did not get much into NC if I remember correctly.

I only wish I had known about it when I finished school. Would have been the perfect time.

I'm hoping to hike the GA segments in the next few years. Trying to add them on my to do list

I hiked the AT in 2013 and the PCT in 2017. I'll be doing the CDT this year. Start date is 24th of March, heading NOBO. I am so excited!

For the past few years, I pick out a few YouTubers who are going to attempt the AT and follow them. I haven’t really found anyone this year that interests me yet but I’m still looking. Last year, I watched Jay Wanders Out and The Heard Hiker and a couple of others who quit along the way.

Watching PCT attempts has gotten frustrating because of the fire closures that seem to happen every year now multiple times.

I can’t imagine ever getting to do a thru hike but a good section hike sounds doable.

Had a friend whose son separated from the Marines in 2014 after 10 years in and 10 years downrange. He was out of the military exactly 7 days before starting the PCT and did not stop for more than a few days, on the trail, at a time and finished about 5(?) months later. This dude is a MAN...about 5'10" tall and probably 175 or so but all lean muscle.....has some incredible stories about meeting young ladies along the way LOL...apparently walking is good for the libido. Same young man is now the physical plant manager on an island in Alaska and is married to the doctor on the island and living a life that other people can only dream of. It is amazing the things some people will willingly subject themselves to and come out with a far different perspective than those of us who travel a better know route....
