"The trail is a collection of opportunities to make your own experience" - couldn't agree more with this sentiment

You bet I want to avoid the post office! 37 years was enough! Retired last week, too late this year for the AT (I am slow). Hoping for next year.

i love that you point out it can be done cheaply, i was recently watching someone that did the entire AT with a total budget of 1k and they succeeded .

Stink, stank, stunk. Great tips Alton. It can be freezing until Mid May in Shenandoah’s. Also we have had some rainy, chilly memorial weekends. Cold doesn’t last.

You might have already covered it, but beware of drama.
