Have been dreaming of thru-hiking the AT for years. Always told myself that I want to be climbing Katahdin on my 40th birthday. Well, guess what... that will be next year! So... I have the desire. I just need to figure out how to pay 6 months of bills and keep health insurance on myself and my husband (who is self-employed). Not worried about a job, I can find another one of those!
So I will be watching the forums and praying and passively planning to join y'all next March! If anyone has any ideas on how to maintain insurance I'd love to hear 'em.
