Well, my section this year starts 4/27 at DWG to Hudson River/Bear Mt. Inn 
or environs. Hopefully close enough to get a train or bus to Grand Central 
Station and thence to Newark Airport for my May 7th flight home. Distance 
is about 106 miles to Bear Mt. Average mileage is planned around 11 per 
day, not counting town/resupply walking. I've got information about 
regional bus and other transport resources in case weather or other problem 
dictates and change in the schedule. I like to walk early, dawdle often and 
cook before dark. I'm not so sure that is too different from most thru hikers.

At least I have the freedom to choose which time of the year I attack a 
section. From the sounds of it, I'd hate to be doing this section in June 
or July like most thru hikers will.
