Then 2 of us will do 180 together in August. When we have full packs... are backpacking we average 10-12 miles a day. When it is roadwalks and a day pack I can average 15-17. I'm not one of these 25-mile-a-day hikers.Sharkbytes (TM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08379841586422814410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-15531793011428004142009-04-01T14:59:00.000-04:002009-04-01T14:59:00.000-04:00Hi Sharkbytes,I'm wishing you success.

This is not something to feel shy about; it's something to be proud of.<BR/><BR/>Just for my curiousity, if you plan to hike 400 miles this year, how many miles will you be hiking a day? Also, I do hope that you have company during your hikes? It's a jugle out there. LOL.<BR/><BR/>Good luck and God bless,<BR/>Tashatashabudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707659728810975773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-5183267337116834212009-04-01T11:48:00.000-04:002009-04-01T11:48:00.000-04:00Hi bethcai- It will be fun to have you and my oth...Hi bethcai- It will be fun to have you and my other blogging friends travel "with" me on this quest.Sharkbytes (TM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08379841586422814410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-42186671376694796902009-03-31T22:50:00.000-04:002009-03-31T22:50:00.000-04:00wow, definitely not something to be shy about, i a...wow, definitely not something to be shy about, i am with you in wishing the best of the conditions to finish the hike, that is really a great accomplishment.betchaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754061874315713589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-85880387531992175962009-03-29T01:06:00.000-04:002009-03-29T01:06:00.000-04:00Ratty- thanks for the encouragement.

I am definitely going to go for it.<BR/><BR/>Hi Kenno- Hope you get to hike when you are ready! I won't be able to blog every day on the May hike, for sure... this is the most remote section anywhere on this trail. But I'll post when we hit civilization and I can access a computer. <BR/><BR/>The August trip will be less interesting, but will have more chances to blog about it.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-33960164678679555862009-03-28T23:26:00.000-04:002009-03-28T23:26:00.000-04:00Wow, I am soooo impressed.

If the knees still work.<BR/><BR/>I have hiked through our great national parks, but that is nothing compared to your experiences. I think Minnesota will be gorgeous (a little cool) in May.<BR/><BR/>All the best to your adventure and achievement.

I forgot that I wrote about that too, I'll put a link at the end of the post to those stories. Of course paying for this is going to be an issue too. I have a little money saved for a crisis, and I've decided that it will go for this project, but it is probably only enough for this summer's treks. But I just HAVE to do this. I've worked so long at this that I don't want to be an also-hiked.Sharkbytes (TM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08379841586422814410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-88207061907829721992009-03-28T10:29:00.000-04:002009-03-28T10:29:00.000-04:00Too cool.

Too bad I'll have to wait until I retire. <BR/><BR/>I always wanted to canoe from your 'blue' section in WI to home. (where the St. Lawrence River leaves the US) I told someone of that and he went and did it - took all summer. (must be nice to be independently wealthy) I might yet do it - spend long times alone with only a tent for shelter - not get rich.<BR/><BR/>Wish you had some of the trail in the Adirondacks left - I'd have made some time to hike with ya. <BR/><BR/>Happy Trails!WiseAcrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383341492994868833noreply@blogger.com
