I am a recently retired middle school math teacher. Planning a hike feels a lot like a logic puzzle. Balancing the items I feel I need to carry to be safe/warm, and the weight of what I can comfortably carry. Balancing the desire to avoid the major…
Today I was once again reminded to answer the question before trying to copy it or else it assumes you clicked on the top answer...
anyway...
"Which of these states does the Appalachian trail NOT go through?"
It is a lot to consider.
A lot of people, and that forms "The bubble" seem to start earlier every year. Remember if you hike something like 12 miles a day on average, that's a 6 month hike. Leaving in April and you are still at/near Kathadin in…
How many miles are shared with another Long distance trail?

I was never any good at math and have no idea what a logic puzzle is but it sounds like your considering the right things.
I love your tag line from Micah.

Quote from LIhikers: “I'm glad that I got my senior, lifetime, national park pass while they were still free.
”
I was carded twice that day. Once to get my park pass, to prove I was old enough, and that evening to buy a bottle of wine at a local…
I was Sabino Canyon in Tucson a few years ago which has a $5 parking fee. I went to pay the fee, the Ranger looked at me and asked my age, and told me I could get a lifetime America the Beautiful pass for $10 (this was just before the price increase). I…
Quote from odd man out: “I think mine was $80. Still a bargain.
”
I got my wife's at the old rate but couldn't get mine until the year they went up to $80. Still a bargain
I am a recently retired middle school math teacher. Planning a hike feels a lot like a logic puzzle. Balancing the items I feel I need to carry to be safe/warm, and the weight of what I can comfortably carry. Balancing the desire to avoid the major bubble and the desire to leave late enough to be warm enough, etc. Balancing my desire to do a thru hike while I am healthy and still in my 60s with growing older and less healthy. Balancing my own dreams with my desire to help with grandkids, and grandbabies that are on the way through birth and adoption. Any other logic/balancing challanges you have encountered, or that I should be thinking about? Not that I really need more conflicts to think about as I am trying to sleep in the middle of the night....

On February 27th, 28th and 29th I did a two night out and back trip from Wolf Pit Road trail-head to Table Rock mountain and back. In typical cafe fashion I planned this trip while driving 80 mph east on I-40 heading back from the Smokies. I stopped at a McDonald's to borrow some free Wifi to get a picture of a the trails and away I went. Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the…
On February 25th and 26th I did a nice loop in the Smokies from Big Creek Ranger Station parking lot to Deep Gap along the AT south of Mt. Cammerer fire tower. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
Nestle Nido and Breakfast Essential Based Milkshakes
Nestle Nido is a full fat powdered milk which when combined with water makes a high calorie milk. I add Nestle Carnation Breakfast Essentials to add flavor and additional calories.
