[at-l] Appalachian Trail: The Quick Way

[garyticknor@starpower.net (Gary Ticknor)]

I've been doing a series of 2, 3, 4 and 5 day hikes, longer as I get better at
it and as the logistics get harder. I was aiming for 8 years (270 miles/year)
but I see 9 is going to be more realistic. And as I get into Maine, I am also
going to get into two week sections, what with travel time.

The hope is to finish before I retire (3 1/2  more years and Asheville here I
come!) I definitely want to finish with Katahdin.

Even before your epic "Snow Survival Hike", I had no doubt!
