[at-l] 2011 Dates for Appalachian Trail Institute and Smart Start

[Dave Hicks]

What ever happened to the alternative hiking schedule recommendations that the ATC had on their site.  I can’t find them.

Coolbreeze had a great one to do the entire AT in a season, which allowed you to use public transportation to move between segments, which put you in the best weather for each major section, and which avoided the more strenuous hiking on steeper mountains before you walked yourself into hiking shape.

There were a number of alternative schedule recommendations, which avoided the big bubble crowd of traditional SOBO hiker.

Regardless, Clyde is right.  You can save money, HYOH (solo if you like, which works for me), and not have to listen to someone tell you how to hike their way every night.

If you really want to hike like this, the Hiker hostle will do the same thing for 2 hikers for less money and put you up in a bed and feed you breakfast.
  And as an added extra you wouldn't have to listen to someone tell you how to hike their way every night....
