After I posted, I wondered - what about Grandma Gatewood?    Or Billygoat?

And at the other end - what does it mean to say a five year old hiked the AT?
How much adult help is allowed climbing up and down the rough parts?

Still they are all remarkable accomplishments.

The only thing that I have found to be different for me as I get older is that I can?t just jump onto a trail at the last minute with no physical preparation. I get injured and then end up having to do shorter miles and hurt at every step. Now I do specific exercises every day so when it?s hiking weather I?m ready. And there?s no strapping gallons of water on my back and thinking I?m able to be a pack horse. I have to be a bit more sensible.
