Hi all...hope the day finds you well. I hiked from Kent, CT to Bear Mt., NY this past July w/ my son and some Boy Scouts from our troop here in MI. We had a fabulous time, although water was an issue one evening. I immediately fell in love with the AT and everything about it. After talking to some NOBO's (we were heading south) and listening to their experiences and all the up and downs they have been through, I decided to add a thru-hike to my bucket list, so to say. Problem is, I more than likely will not be able to do this until retirement, which is about 20 years out. However, I am OBSESSED with everything AT...reading blogs, journals, watching YouTube videos, spending hours reading threads here, etc. Does anyone else have this same problem as me??? What do you do to help this addiction?
