50 miles is a lot. Its almost 2 marathons.

I can't imagine many people wanting to do that on a whim.

well I figure it's a little under a week of hiking, a lot of us do woodland vacations so I could see it fitting together pretty nicely/ If some of it has to be driven I don't see that as a real problem. i just like the idea of the relay.

I already thru-hiked the AT back in 88.

Right now I'm doing the PCT in sections.

To anyone else who wants to do it: go for it. You'll never regret it.

I'm down, however this summer might be a bust. Moving to(correction) montana for a job in may.

The smokies certainly have some of the best hiking this side of the mississippi, however, and anyone in the south who happens to be down here would be a welcome addition to any part of the hike.

A good idea, just hard to organize.

SageTree

Realize you aren't talking to me here, but as a former resident of PA all I can say is the trails aren't kept up that well/marked, the views aren't as good as on other parts...

I'd shoot for Virginia like Ram said, or go up into New York state.

Didn't mind sayin' goodbye to fire ants and the heat, but the southern leg was pretty amazing elevation and view wise (yeah, I know it ain't the Cascades or the Rockies, but they pass for mountains in the east), just not my favorite summer hike. Virginia up to Lambs Knob or Washington Monument was pretty easy squeezy walkin',... runnin' actually. Once ya hit the ridge lines none of it's too awfully hard till ya get up north of the Yough. Although the climb up from the Potomac at Harpers Ferry weren't much fun, the history is pretty incredible. Especially when you come drag assin' up the mountain and stand where a bunch of scrawny barefoot Confederates had stood after pullin' a battery of giant fuck Napoleon smooth bores up with 'em. Climbing down and back up through the gaps is pretty brutal stuff in Pa. but that's where ya come to be glad that it isn't the Rockies. Great place for copperheads though.

Jersey and the start of N.Y. kind'a sucked down by the Delaware, but I was only through there once, and it was late July. The skeeters weren't springtime in Alaska, but they were pretty bloodthirsty all the same. Northern leg was pretty awesome. Amazing sub-alpine climbs that you don't see much of in the east.

Bears were a hassle in Virginia, skeeters everywhere, rattlesnakes in Maryland, copperheads in Pa., and tics the whole way. City lights fuck up a lot of it at night, but it's still a cool excuse to get out in the woods. Sad to say, but the sections that run closest to uncivilization can get a little sketchy with the bipedal wildlife encounters, and since it's a Feral Park now, ya don't even wanna get caught packin' heat. Pacific Crest is head and shoulders above, and it's on my bucket list to drag the little woman down it again, although AT is still cool. Love to do the "unofficial" parts up into Quebec some day.

I'll be within strikin' distance of the Blue Ridge to Pa. section around 4th of July, depending on when ya wanna start this Rendezvous. Actually, Harpers Ferry is a pretty cool meeting place, and I'm pretty sure there's an Amtrack station nearby for anybody that doesn't wanna walk home.
