[at-l] Do'in the AT...

[gpblackwood at yahoo.com (Gerry Blackwood)]

Good Morning .....
 
I am planning my first solo hike Thur of the AT. I have not decided if I am going to hike the trail straight thur or break it up in 60 day clips, but I am considering a July 2005 start. I am experienced in long range ..ah.... hiking...though I use to know it as LRRPs... I am a retired LTC US Army (1995) and three weeks ago decided to actually retire after ten years with a international organization. 
 
I traveled extensively and now want to try an adventure here in the States. I have all the high speed gear one needs while most of my ..ah... hiking has really not been for pleasure while I have the logistics of the AT pretty much down pat and its all about logistics.... 
 
The question I really have for you experienced hikers is, what do I really, really need to know? 
 
Tks
Gerry
