One other Q. Am I correct that dispersed camping is allowed and sites reasonably available all along the trail in the HMW. I ask because I saw that camping was not allowed in the Gulf Hagas area and there was a fee camping area east of the Hermitage just outside AT corridor. I have not seen anything about camping regulations along the AT (except in BSP, obviously).

I did some more reading. From what I can tell, The Hermitage is a grove of old growth pines trees on (or near?) the AT by Pugwash Pond just north of the West Branch Pleasant River crossing. Just north is a loop trail west of the AT through Gulf Hagas, a narrow gorge with many waterfalls. It sounds like it would be a nice side trip, if time and energy allowed. Many seem to call it "The Grand Canyon of Maine", which seems a stretch. Having hiked the real Grand Canyon a couple of years ago. I have …

I was going over info on the HMW. I keep sing reference to The Hermitage near the Gulf Hagas area, but haven't figured out what these are. Do I need to?

I got the Nano 16 last year. I too wanted a minimal day pack. I use it a a personal item on plane trips (fits under the seat so it doesn't count as carryon luggage).

Quote from Astro: “No, but I originally planned to. Unfortunately in trying to catch better weather to summit, I slowed down at the end of the 100 mile wilderness and then took a zero at Abol Bridge. So after burning those two days I just had Shaw's pick me up and take me back to Monson. My summit dinner unfortunately was just the best sandwich I could find at a gas station on the way back to Monson. ” I've been rethinking my my plan to go NOBO to allow some more flexibility to adjust for weathe…

Also saw Left Drisell died. He was the coach at U of MD when they were winning championships and I was growing up just down the road from College Park. I met him once. I recall being shocked at how tall he was (6'6") because on TV he looked much shorter standing next to his much taller players. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lefty_Driesell

So do you have any Fat Tuesday traditions? My annual tradition is to eat lots of Pączk and then give up okra for Lent.

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 …
