Hey, I'm a guy who can't get away for 6 months to a year to do a thru hike on a long trail.  But I do have time to take a week here or there to do a section hike.  So I'm going to section hike the Appalachian Trail.  Let's talk about what it takes to plan a great hike, then go out and hit the trail.  We are sponsored by the Committee to Restore America's National Parks, a advocacy group aimed at fixing the $11.9Billion backlog under our National Park System.  Learn more and donate at http://www.restoreamericasnationalparks.org.
