Okay, we weren't really hiking the AT, but we recognize it as an amazing accomplishment for all who do this... Jason (Jen's husband) hiked the entire trail after finishing college (congratulations) I think it was the best thing for him... When R and I were driving through here, we picked up a couple groups of hikers... The first were a husband/wife team and the wife was getting off the trail to attend a wedding (her husband was getting back on I think)... The second group were through hikers who just needed a ride to the outfitters to get some boots fixed... I have great respect of those who hike through, and for those who do it in small segments... ANY THOUGHTS OR OPINIONS???? Jason is the man for all I am concerned because he has done it... If you want to read about this, I recommend Bill Bryson's 'A WALK IN THE WOODS' ... The nice thing for me about Bryson is that he writes the way that I think :)

I would recommend a thru-hike to anyone who's ever thought of doing it. I honestly can't think of a more worthwhile use of 6 months of your life. Jason (Achilles GA-->ME 2000)
The book is ok.. until he stops hiking.
Yeah, a thru-hike is the recommended method. Lots of life's best lessons are learned on the trail. However, as anyone whose hiked it knows, you never do it alone.
Though I haven't done the trail, I agree with what you say. When did you hike?
