As a teenager I had two dreams related to USA. Visit New York and make a coast to coast road trip. I have done the first and I gave up on the second but now a third one came up. The Appalachian keep poping up in front of me, in books, in the internet and now in hive and I am starting to develop the desire to see what is it all about, in person :)
Oh!! You would absolutely love it, except it is hiking through beauty and amazing pieces of nature. It is not for the weak at heart, if you did a thru-hike, it would take you 6 months, so most people, like me, have done it in sections and not in order. :) It is called the AT (Appalachian Trail) I like your wishlist. I worked in New York City, so that is close enough, and done Coast to Coast 13 times. I will finish the AT someday :) You may finish before me! A different trailhead on another hike.
By the way, it would take way less time to make a coast-to-coast trip than to hike the AT! However, it would be a lot cheaper! :)
Just something to keep in mind @fotostef
Wow girl, don't you ever stand still? 😃
A six months hike? That's way beyond my capability. But a lovely task to dream of! I would be perfectly happy if I manage to walk for a few days out there, it must be truly mesmerizing!
Well, I have relatives on both coasts and when I moved away from home, I promised both sets I would visit them, especially if I had children to keep them close.
It is beyond my capability too!!! But, fun to think about. I do exactly that! A few days here and there, sometimes years apart. I hike different parts of it as there are day hikes in all 14 States I look for the trailhead and hike in.
I am not a die-hard hiker. I like it, but, I have enough obligations in life to do it for fun, and the mix of nature is splendid!
Thanks for stopping by!!!
