I have thought about it why I want to do a thru-hike.  I've thought about it 
every single day for 5 years.

I'm not doing the car following thing.  It's not a good idea, and wouldn't 
work for us.  As I've said before, the Boy has no sense of directions, and we 
couldn't afford it.  I don't want that kind of stress (that's one reason WHY I 
want to do a thru) and he can meet up with me along the trail at designated 
times and places.

Of course, I have to talk to HIM about it.  He may enjoy the time alone!
