I'm more impressed that you were able to take 7 months off work

Nice...I'll do it one day, not going to take 6 months off of work to do it, probably 20-30 days here and there.

I am jealous of few people in this world, but you have earned my envy. Congrats on the hike.

So Jealous.

This is my one remaining ambition in life.


If you want to do a 10 day--- 14 day trip next spring/Summer-give me a heads up and I'll meet you bro.
The thought of going alone unnerves me.

congrats!

did you encounter any of the warrior hike group out there? one of my Marine Corps brothers just finished the trail a couple of weeks ago with the warrior hike program. i've been following him and warrior hike on facebook, as they hiked the trail. was really cool following their progress day to day; i've always wanted to hike the trail but following them has really stoked the fire.

warrior hike is an amazing program. people should check it out.

Reading your journal I see that the rain gear isn't very helpful. Maybe some kind of wool getup would be better suited? Still get wet but would be wet from rain and not sweat and would be warmer. My experiences with rain gear in my day-to-day outdoor activities have been lackluster as well.

What's a good section to do with two boys?

Both have packed before for two overnighters. They can make 8-10 miles if terrain isn't too tough. Looking for about 50-60 miles summer of 2014. Late summer now due to work. Maybe June but most likely July.

what a neat deal. wish i would have done it in college. too much on my plate now. I have several friends who will hike sections, with the ultimate goal being doing the whole thing, just not in one trip. amazing 6 months on the trail.

Truly awesome, brother. I will add this to the master thread as soon as I get back into town. I am extremely jealous, fwiw.
