Camping is starting to annoy me a bit...it seems like you can't camp anywhere. The timetable? 1000 miles...2.5 months or so? I plan on walking the whole way, so no biking. Resupplies don't seem like they'll be too bad.
The only thing that sketches me out is camping. I've hiked tons of day hikes throughout the state on it, and have yet to find camping. Just wondering what some general thoughts are about the trail and issues about it. I ordered Taba's book and am looking forward to getting to read it!
Thanks for any advice!
