I just purchased a small (yet old) motorhome to extend my range a bit on day hikes!

We have found the parks to be truly hidden treasures when traveling to Florida and exploring around.

I am a truck driver and have often thought of doing a hike from that point, North. How many days would I have to allow to even give it a good try at getting in shape for it. I have back packed about 20 yrs ago in the Black Hills and Glacier. Still can not get it out of my mind. I just turned 67 and weigh 265 lbs.

I was much younger and stronger. It was a very difficult hike. 10-15 miles per day. I would do it again in a minute if my health would allow it. A wonderful adventure and I highly recommend it. Just make sure you are prepared and in shape for it. Hiked 110 miles many years ago from Cherokee NC. north. I was much younger and stronger. It was a very difficult hike. 10-15 miles per day.

I originally wrote this article for a friend and his brother who will be hiking the AT end of JUly starting from Damascus, VA and spending about a week on the trail. I only disagree about the viewing of Wildlife, although most hikers rarely see wildlife such as Deer, Bear or Turkey, it is not because they are not there, most hikers are not on the move when most of these critters are moving about or are too noisey or upwind of the animals. If you know animal sign and are willling to do what it takes to see them, there are there. BUt then again, this is hiking, not hunting. Great Information!
