Retirement has made me rethink my hiking plans for this year. I was hoping to do the Idaho Centennial Trail this summer, but I started thinking I'm not really in shape to commit to 900 miles of wilderness, so I've come up with an alternate plan. I figured on doing the BMT as a warmup hike, but that wouldn't leave me much time to work out all of the logistics for the ICT with food drops, water carries, etc.
So instead, after the BMT, I'll hop on the AT and hike north to NY. I'll then head home to spend a week with my daughter and grandkids, then head up to NH, shuttle to the Canadian border and hike the Cohos Trail down to Crawford notch, and continue on the AT south back to NY and home.
That's the "plan", but we'll see what my body has to say about it as I go north.
I should be in Damascus in time for Trail Days.
