What's the furthest any of you have hiked on the Applachian Trail?? Not sure when it'll ever happen but it is a life goal of mine to hike all 2180 miles!! Is that crazy?

Good luck to you! I've done some in NJ around Stokes and we're hoping to be able to cover more ground when the kids are older.

I did part of it around Clingman's Dome in TN. Will be walking the entire MD section towards the end of June.

Re: Applachian Trail

I've never done any of it. My uncle has done the whole thing over the last couple of summers. My grandmother has done some stretches of it. She also did the entire Finger Lakes Trail and the entire Long Path. She didn't start hiking until she was in her late 60's. She's in her mid-80's now, has broken her hip twice, and has basically lost her marbles, but she's still doddering around.

People do it. Matter of fact we ran into some AT through hikers this last weekend in the Jefferson National Forest at the James River Foot Bridge (longest foot bridge on the AT). They were trying to hitch-hike into town to do laundry and restock on food. People do it...it's one of my life goals as well.
