Matt, you keep applying your personal definition of what a thru-hike should be to others. Not cool! Why don't you focus on what you want to do, and let others do things their way. The trail is part of a community. One of the great things for me is getting to know some of the places, people and towns that the trail goes through. I've gained so much getting to know the hostel owners, trail angels and shuttle drivers I have met along the way. I have considered it enriching, not 'pathetic.' But to e…

Scott's Eclipse Plans: I've already let my students know that classes will be cancelled that day. This is my last shot at a total eclipse. I have not made any reservations anyplace, because I wanted to be flexible on where I go depending on the forecast. Probably too late to get a place along the path anyway.

Quote from rhjanes: “That hiker made poor choices followed by more poor choices and then some more. Could he be subject to a rescue bill? ” From the tone of the article, I assume that is coming next. Wonder how much it costs to send two whole Cog Railway Trains up the mountain for one person?

SAR sounded pretty pissed off on this one... boston.com/news/local-news/202…ngton/?p1=hp_featurestack

No, we all should though. Last time I was in Millinocket I hit a Hot Dog stand. Certain parts of Maine have these weird red hot dogs called 'Red Snappers.' Worth a try.

It is just another Tuesday in the North. I think I brought a P&J sandwich to work that day

Hello MNR, I am going to go with Not realistic. Definitely would not be enjoyable in my mind. If you need to keep your full time job, I would recommend just enjoying some hiking weekends and vacations for now. Section hiking is great.
