so as you may or may not know, i was planning to start the AT GA to Maine is as big of sections as i could finish with my alotted vacation time...after a lot of planning and debate, i'm going to change my tactic

it will take me more than 10 years to finish the entire trail this way...and to be honest from what i've read alot of it is normal everyday trail.

so i was thinking why not use my vacation this year and next...maybe a third if need be...and really just hit up the highlights....

trail start, clingmans dome, that lookout point in VA

what do you guys think? will i regret not taking the 5 million steps?

I feel i'll still be able to appreciate the trail as i'll be taking in the highlest from the entire thing not just a section...
i can visit every major lookout, summit and waterfall...

i also think i'll enjoy having base camps and my vehicle for most of the gear, and then venture off with my daypack when i choose to summit clingmans and etc


also the main reason for doing it this way is it will enable me to visit the other jaw dropping places nature has to offter such as yellowstone, and arcs, and zion, and rafting in the GC....

let me know what you think thanks!
