True.  My first passion was to thru-hike solo, no support, backpacking all 
the way, etc.  Then I realized that kind of thru would be *just* a walk and 
to finish would limit my artistic/photographic ambitions so now I'm leaning 
toward sectioning and possibly supported hiking.  OTOH it's hard to let go 
of the romance that goes with the idea of a thru and the notion keeps 
creeping back.  I'm 57, healthy and a pretty strong (if not fast) 
hiker.  Maybe I can manage to do both?  Fingers crossed.
