Still sounds like a thruhike to me...
If you are doing a thruhike so your hometown will have a parade in your
honor.... Try again.... If you want to fight your way from point A to B
(against cold, heat, hunger, thirst, mosquitos, flies, bees, snakes, bears,
dogs, pain, & strange people (Felix? Ted? Jan? Me?....), with self
satisfaction, some views , local color
and trail angels thrown in (no parade), then have at it.

I wonder if I can get Sam to carry the pots, pans & food for me...
Did Frodo have a Nomad?
