MadRiver said:It’s interesting and somewhat sad to read their posts about buying gear, quitting their jobs, selling their homes, and saying goodbye to their families only to quit a week into the hike. Some are just totally unprepared for what the AT does to a person both mentally and physically.

Puck said:I like being around in the whites when the thru hikers start moving through..its like a bird migration. Its great to hear the stories, its also fun to be a trail angel, giving them stuff or rides to the trail head etc...

Tom Rankin said:Does anyone know if this is ever done:
2+ hikers, 2 cars, assume heading 'North'.
Leave cars at the next road crossing and at/near your starting point. Start at the northern car, and walk *SOUTH* to your other car. Drive to the next road crossing. (You are always *WALKING SOUTH*, but making steady progress *NORTH* !) Repeat until standing on Baxter!
Does this have a name ?

They drove to the trailhead everyday with car #1, then hiked South to where they had started the previous day to car #2. Then they drove car #2 to a hotel, stayed the night, then drove further North the next day and hiked back to car #1. Rinse and repeat. I don't believe they were planning to hike the whole trail in one year. . . .
