[at-l] 4-day AT Hike

[garyticknor@starpower.net (Gary Ticknor)]

The shelters may indeed fill up (probably will this time of year), and
it indeed may rain, so you will need shelter for everyone hiking. The
4th of July week is a popular one for hiking.

You might consider renting from a camping store. Or borrowing from a
friend.
