If anyone has any experience or advice they'd like to share with me about hiking the Superior trail, I'd be very thankful. I'm planning on a thru hike excluding the Duluth area (due to no available nor convenient camping areas).
I've got a lot of questions: When, in the fall or spring, is a good start time considering bugs and weather? Are there "better" times of the year to do a thru? Are water sources reliable? If I carry a hammock instead of tent, are there sufficient good "hangs" at the campsites? Is resupply an issue along the trail or would I be better off sending resupply boxes ahead to myself? Are any of the ascents or descents tough (I have bad knees)? How difficult is it to get a ride off the trail at the northern terminus? Etc..
