97 day Thru-hike
Hello everyone,
Glad to be back! I went to a information session for 4 week
backpacking school at my school and met a man named Miller Templeton. He
is a senior trip leader for ORGT(Outdoor Recreation at Georgia Tech) and has
thru hiked several times. He seemed like a very adventuresome man who
really enjoyed challenging his students to the very limit. This summer he is
leading a group of Tech students on a thru hike on the AT. His plan is to
finish in 97 days. Wow! I think the trip is way out of my league, and
even if I could do it physically I don't think I would want to. I figure
including travel time and all that would be about 24 miles a day! That
doesn't leave much time to sit around and smell the roses or watch the
sunset. I am interested in what you guys who have thru hiked before think
about this.
Thanks for bringing the list back up Ryan.
