Interested in hiking VT -> ME with me starting June 2010? I offer years of backpacking experience, a love of the AT, benevolence, and, I suppose, medical skills, as I'm a physician. I'll be graduating residency June 2010 and don't have to start work until as late as October 2010. I've hiked parts of VT and NH, and none of ME. I figure I can knock it all out in one fell swoop during June-August. The AT guidebooks say "do not hike alone," to play it safe. Won't you play it safe with me?
You're an ideal partner for me if you truly enjoy hiking (rather than are just lonely, horny, etc), can hike 10 -25 mi a day, and practice/are willing to practice low impact camping.
I look forward to your response.
