Did you hike the AT end to end?
I did. Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine. One of the greatest experiences of my life. There is quite a subculture that hikes the trail every year. It’s a lot more crowded these days than it was in 1984. We actually live near the trail now in North Carolina.
I took my oldest son on several section hikes on the AT when he was little. Two years ago, as an adult, he hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. I’m very jealous of that one and the PCT is on my bucket list.
