When we were at the Georgia Ruck we figured with equipment cost, 
transportation cost, out of pocket expenses, and lost wages, it will cost me 
$62,000 to do my thru hike.  62,000/180 days equals $344.00 a day.  You 
wonder why people don't take the time to figure it out?  I can just imagine 
myself in Massachusetts-rain, mosquitoes, mud and me thinking "I paid 344 
dollars for this day?"
