    Thought you bailed out, or seeing as we were in preliminary planning, pre-bailed.

    I'll help the poor guy out. Let's see, did you say it was 300 miles, the Pinhoti? So if you can average let's say at least 10 miles per day, you need 3 zero days for rest and resupply, and let's not forget the 10 miles you will lose over the course of these 300 miles running backward the wrong way away from all those pesky dogs. If these are the general facts, I can positively say you need to add 35 days to your hike. There, now you have it. Let's move on please!!

    hmmm, maybe ms and wd can get together and start up the bestest darn hiking site ever...it'll have deep, introspective articles ,(as long as you subscribe to one of the two allowable opinions) and they'll have an online karoake feature...

    7-8 miles a day? What? Are you planning on crawling on all fours, or will you be carrying a piano on your back? Haven't you been living in Colorado? Oh, Mountain Man of legendary repute?

    I do not totally know your answer. But here is a reference:
    http://www.hikealabama.org/images/AL...s_Handbook.pdf

    I don't know much about the GA Pinhoti other than where the north end connects to the BMT (Mile point 69.4 from Springer). The AL Pihoti is now up to about 137 miles, so that will take you about 15-20 days to hike at your speed.

    So at the speed you want to hike, it will take you about 7-9 days to do the BMT.

    So just those sections are going to add about 22-29 days to your hike. I imagine it will be about 160 miles and about 18-22 days for that. So total extra hiking at your speeds will be 40-51 days. That means you need to hit the start at about 1 January.

    I may have someone with me who won't hike very fast at first.

    id support an extension like the IAT but i believe that springer in Georgia should remain the south terminus of the AT itself and for all you liberals out there remember just cause its tradition doesn't mean it HAS to be changed lest we live in a" world controlled by archaic cave paintings" true story someone actually said that exact phrase to me

    The woman in my life. She's heard all my Trail stories, looked at all my pictures, and been fully involved in sending out trail magic in care of hostels, and thinks that an AT thruhike would be fun. She's very outdoors-oriented, very organized, and handles privation and the unexpected well, so I think she'll do fine.
