	Complicated question - you are looking at fairly high mileage days, so
it depends a lot on the trail, the amount of weight you are carrying,
your physical condition, etc. Are you hiking with someone else who is an
experienced hiker? If so, are they familiar with the trail you are
taking? Lots of questions...

	From the sound of things, I believe you might be biting off too much,
but a great deal depends on you, and what you are capable of.
