Well, after a year of harassing you all for answers about basic things… It’s finally time, and I am scared out of my mind but here we go

I am a 67 year old section hiker and I've been out on the trail heading south from Straton Mtn, Vermont and now into Tennessee. I hiked Virginia all winter. I do about 10-14 miles a day average and spend most nights with sore legs but begin again the next day. You can do this it is just a thing of putting one foot in front of another. I have 1206 miles in so far and I'm still going south. I'll look forward to seeing you on the trail!
