As to the stretch of AT I'd think it might begin (and end?) in VA as we might move there, and I have some family in VA and MA, or it could be further north around NJ as I have an aunt up there who says she's more than down with going on a long backpacking trip. Her husband (a surfer) thinks it might be fun for a moment, but then he's gotta get back to the water.
