One more question ... will probably have another ... at what point in your hike do you call ahead to make a reservation for a Bunk or a Room? Does one call, say, the Church of the Mountain to reserve Hostel Space? Or does one call the City Borough Hall in Palmerton? Does one make an online reservation for Crawford Notch Highland Center Joe Dodge Lodge and Mohican Center and if so, how soon before Expected Date of Arrival? If one decides to stay as a 'guest' at one of the AMC Huts, how soon should a reservation be made?
Thank you for your help ...
How do you 'guys' who just 'go hike' do it? I'm amazed that anyone just picks up and doesn't spend too much time 'figgerin' out' a schedule. Which will probably not be met.
