I live near Damascus, which gives me decent opportunities to find a lot of long-distance trails in "walking distance." With that in mind, I'm planning to walk down to Davenport Gap later this year, where it's possible to jump on the Benton MacKaye Trail going south toward the southern terminus, which the BMT shares with the AT. From there I can make my way home along the AT. In total, about 1000 miles. Probably gonna head out in the middle of July. Anyone else planning a BMT thru-hike/AT loop this year?
