As already pointed out, the logistical challenges may be insurmountable. A thru hike usually involves hiking 14 miles per day which probably involves about 7 hrs of actually walking plus time for "camp chores" (eating, filtering water, setting up and taking down camp, resting, etc...). So basically it is more than a full-time job. Working another full-time job just doesn't add up. In addition to some of the other idea posted, one way it might work is to ditch the thru hike idea (i.e. hiking the …

Now having thunderstorms. This is the first time thunderstorms have been recorded on Feb 8 by our local weather stations with records going back to 1897.

I don't include the summit day in my calculation (that's not variable). It's the number of days hiking from the BSP campground to Monson that is unknown. It takes most of a day to get out of BSP, but include those miles in the calculation.

Plans for a Baxter Peak to Monson section are coming along. But how many days to plan for? From what I've read, 10 days from Katahdin Stream CG to Monson is a reasonable estimate for a SOBO section hiker. Would you plan on 11 days, just to be safe? This affects meal planning as well as lodging and transportation logistics at the end. I will probably use a food drop service so I don't have to carry it all food at the start.Everyone says the Abol Bridge Store should not be used for HMW supply but …

Quote from LIhikers: “Quote from odd man out: “I'll be retired soon. Last day will be April 25. But as I get older, the thought of long car rides becomes less attractive. ” OMO, congrats on your upcoming retirement. I hope you can make the transition easier than I am. I find it tough mentally to not be doing what I did for over 50 years. ” I only did it 38 years (43 if you count grad school) so it should be a breeze, right? And April 25 is also my birthday.

I'll be retired soon. Last day will be April 25. But as I get older, the thought of long car rides becomes less attractive.

Today was cloudy and dreary. But the "bright" side was it was the first day in 23 days with no rain or snow.

In Sunday's Lions game, Tampa Bay was down by 14 pts near the end of the game. They scored a TD with a few minutes to play. There has been much discussion of their decision to go for the 2 pt try rather than kick a PAT. I have seen people argue both sides, so I thought I would crunch the numbers (As I tend to do). The premise: You are down 14 points with a few minutes to play in regulation. The most likely positive outcome is to score a TD, get a defensive stop, and score another TD at the end o…
