<DIV>It all depends how bad you want to finish the whole trail in one year.
Some hikers are into the "foot print to foot print" idea. That's start at the
n or s and do the whole trail, no short cuts. Some just want to finish the
whole trail any way they can. Some skip around to get the whole trail in. And
some do their own thing and may or may not finish in one year. No big deal
they will come back another time. Everyone has their own idea of how to do the
trail. Comes down to....just do your own thing. As to cost.... I have no idea
what the extra cost is. Should be some hikers out there that could tell you.
