Yep! I am starting this thread because while we have often talked about thru hiking from when my husband and I first started backpacking 25+ years ago this has been a "dream." Well about 18 months ago we sat down and"decided" we would continue working for 5 more years, had several things we needed to "accomplish" before we set out, etc. Then about a year ago we almost blew the whole plan but luckily didn't (like committing major money which would have kept us from leaving jobs for 6 months). Been discussing it again and we are committed. So at this time in the year 2022 we will be in some stage of getting rid of the vast majority of our possessions, visiting our son, and then packing up the rest of our stuff for our "post hike" life and getting to the trail head!
