Thru hiking the AT

[Mister L]

My son did a thru hike 4 years ago, 2 things he always would tell anyone planning on the hike is to get a hammock sleeping bag and a very good pair of shoes. The hammock sleeping bag to keep the mice off of you and a good pair of shoes is so you don't get stress fractors in your feet. Took him 6 months. When you get to the Shenandoah Valley you can go 2 ways ether canoe the river or hike the trail, he did it both ways. He said the canoe trip was worth doing. Ether way counts toward the hike. Wish I didn't have to work, I would put it on my bucket list.
